What an incredible experience at Kobe En Steakhouse! We were greeted warmly and although early, we were sat at the bar and made to feel welcome. We were assigned our own chef for our specific Kobe beef tasting experience, and he was absolutely brilliant. Despite the language barrier, we communicated through the love of food, and he loved making us happy. The food was absolutely delicious and well worth the trip. We had a fantastic evening, and they even gave us a souvenir photo to take home! We loved every minute of it.

Luxurious Kobe Beef Teppanyaki Course in Kobe En Steakhouse
Dining Experiences
This experience was absolutely exceptional and worth every penny. My wife and I(and our two friends) had an absolutely incredible time with a focused and hard working omakase staff, incredible views on the roof of the yamabute of Odaiba and some of the best alcohol we've had on our trip to Japan.
Every member of this staff gave 100% and we all feel incredibly lucky to get to know each of them.
Would definitely do this again.

Afternoon Tea in Aoyama: Decadent Sweets & Savory Treats
Dining Experiences
The hosts were great! There are several buildings to stay in. We were the only group for our one night stay, but in theory I believe separate parties would each use a different building. We made takoyaki, and the hosts made tempura and katsu along with the star Matsusaka beef (bbq’ed and in sukiyaki), plus small side dishes. Way more food than we could possibly consume. Breakfast included homemade rice flour bread, and they sent us off with bentos as well. In fact, because our next stop was a 45 minute drive away (Ise), they drove us to our hotel to drop off our luggage and then dropped us off at Ise Jingu to save us the train ride. I wouldn’t get too excited over the vegetable garden; I don’t think we even ate the vegetables we picked, and if you’ve ever kept a small garden yourself it’s essentially the same experience.

Farm-to-Table Matsusaka Beef Sukiyaki at a Farmer’s Inn
Dining Experiences
We had a magical evening with Nadja. We learned a lot about Fugu, japanese Cuisine in general and the Gion district. The tour was really informing and we even saw two Geishas (who are called Geikos in Kyoto, what we learned now). Nadja has a sparkling personality and shared her fascination for Japan with us with exciting explanations. Beeing a chef herself she could not only share her knowledge about the way of japanese cooking and all the special ingredients/techniques but also about the local working life, which was super interesting too. The Fugu was unbelievably tasty. It was so fresh that the muscle were still shivering. We have never seen something like that before. Some parts were boiled directly in front of us, that was spectacular just as incinerating hot sake, that was served with Fugu fins in it. What a show! The three hours passed like a blink of an eye, and we went home with our bellys full with delicious Fugu and our minds full of fascination for Kyoto.

Kyoto Gion Tour and Rare Fugu Banquet with Michelin Chef
Dining Experiences
For gourmands looking to truly indulge, Japan offers some outstanding opportunities. Bejeweled with more Michelin-starred cities than any other country on earth, it’s arguably the best place on earth to splash out on some premium fine dining. Centuries of home-grown tradition has gone into developing the unique culinary culture of Japan, while in more modern times the country’s adventurous chefs have spread across the globe to master cuisines from far and wide.
In short, you’re not short options for premium dining in Japan. You could take it ultra-traditional with a high-class ryōtei meal, where you’ll be served a traditional kaiseki multi-course meal in a private tatami mat room, looking out over serene private gardens. Or if you’re looking for something a little more modern, why not try the wagyu beef steakhouses of Ginza, or outlets from some of the biggest names in European gastronomy like Joël Robuchon Tokyo.
Whatever you’re looking for, Japan has an outstanding lineup of sushi savants, wagyu wizards, and international experts on standby to serve your every need. With byFoods range of premium dining restaurants in Japan, you’ll be able to land a seat at their tables with just a few clicks.
