Ryugin

Chef Seiji Yamamoto's 3-Michelin-star Ryugin in Roppongi reinvents classic kaiseki cuisine through a lens of molecular gastronomy and hyper-seasonal Japanese ingredients. Yamamoto's tasting menu — which can span 14 courses — is celebrated globally for its extraordinary precision, with each dish referencing a moment in the Japanese culinary tradition. At around $350 per person, Ryugin's tasting menu is $50 cheaper than Sukiyabashi Jiro's 20-course omakase, and 90% of diners rate it as a top culinary experience.
