Why Travelers Love Itoh Dining
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
One of our favourite dining experiences. We sat and watched the chefs working their magic and it was just the best! The seven courses were so tasty and the steak was so succulent, its probably up there with one of the best of our lives. We even finished with a sake by the river as they let us move for our last drink. We did the menu that comes with multiple servings. Everything was delicious. Small portions but was perfect for us and look forward to returning. Ambience was very lovely ands romantic, peaceful and quiet. This place has a calm, elegant atmosphere that makes it perfect for special occasions or date nights. Everything I tried was delicious, but the salmon stood out — incredibly fresh and flavorful. The cozy vibe and beautifully presented dishes made the whole experience memorable. Highly recommended for a relaxed and romantic dinner.

I can honestly say that I have never in my life eaten such delicious steak. The meat literally melted in my mouth. This is by far the best steak restaurant I have even eaten in during my life. I had the Kobe 200g steak. Cooked in front of me by a master chef to absolute perfection. This is a very exclusive restaurant and you will need a reservation in advance or you will not het in. And prepare to pay. Dinner for 2 was almost $500 but well worth it.

Best restaurant in Japan! The Kobe beef is only the highlight, but every course is served to perfection. The service is exceptional and English friendly. The price is well worth the food and experience.
