[MICHELIN GUIDE JAPAN] TOKYO shibuya-ku BIb Gourmand 38 (14)

Nihao

  • 2F, 2-27-4 Nishihara, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, 151-0066, Japan
  • ¥ · Dumplings

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

The owner-chef learned dim sum from a Chinese artisan during his time training. When he went out on his own, he chose to specialise in boiled, grilled and deep-fried gyoza dumplings. Rather than using minced meat, he chops the pork with a Chinese knife to give it texture. The chewy boiled gyoza is prepared after the order is received. The grilled and deep-fried gyoza are fragrant and juicy and you can order however many you want of each.

SUSHI SOTATSU

  • 1-58-7 Hommachi, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, 151-0071, Japan
  • ¥¥ · Sushi

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

The restaurant is named after Tawaraya Sotatsu, the 15th–16th-century painter famed for his Wind God and Thunder God screen paintings. The basket clam ichiban-dashi is a thoughtful touch, meant to soothe the liver before drinking. The relaxed way of ordering sushi one item at a time underscores why having a ‘neighbourhood sushi bar’ is so enjoyable. Transparent billing (without any evasive ‘market prices’) is reassuring. Sushi the way it was meant to be is back.

Concerto

  • B1F, 1-29-5 Uehara, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, 151-0064, Japan
  • ¥¥ · Italian

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

While based on Italian, the dishes are unique in their use of domestic ingredients such as seaweed and citrus fruits. An example of this is the hamo fritters with ume sauce. As the name ‘Concerto’ suggests, you’ll be treated to a harmonious performance by chef Iguchi, the conductor, and sommelier Harada, the concert master. The Italian dishes, Japanese ingredients, and wine from various countries come together to create a symphony.

Nakatogawa

  • ¥¥ · Izakaya

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

At this restaurant, you’ll find a blend of Japanese and traditional Italian dishes. The owner-chef trained extensively in Italian cuisine before opening his own restaurant. Standard menu items include caprese and several kinds of handmade pasta. He also prepares dishes he enjoyed as a child, such as shiraae, nimono and rice cooked in an earthenware pot. Being able to enjoy genuine dishes in a casual izakaya-like atmosphere is also appealing.

Andagyoza

  • 3-21-2 Nishihara, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, 151-0066, Japan
  • ¥ · Dumplings

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

The speciality here is healthy boiled gyoza dumplings, offered in four varieties. Light on the stomach, the fillings include ginger, Szechuan pickles and curry. As no garlic or Chinese chives are used, they won’t stay on the breath, and this makes them popular with diners. If you want to try all of them, we recommend the teishoku. There are also some unique items such as wood ear mushroom stew and mapo tofu made without oil.
