This is a teppanyaki restaurant which is very common in Japan. What makes this place so special is that all teppanyaki chefs are females. This is not a common scene in any restaurants, let alone a Japanese restaurant. On top of this, what makes this teppanyaki restaurant special is that it cooks Okinawa style teppanyaki.
The way how the beef, seafood and vegetables are being cooked is very different from the original Teppanyaki. The dish that I love most and which I went back to this restaurant the 2nd time for is the garlic fried rice. No special ingredients in the fried rice, just garlic, shallots and egg, but I have to say, THIS IS THE SECOND BEST TEPPANYAKI FRIED RICE I HAD. The closing dish is not fried bean sprouts or cabbage like all other Teppanyakis, but Okinawa bitter melon with fried eggs. SUPER YUMMY !!!

When you walk into the restaurant, it felt like that you have walked into an old Japanese mansion. It gives you the Japanese cultural and at the same time a "homey"feeling. Each booking is served in a room with 1 or 2 designated Tempura chefs, preparing the cooking the meal in front of you.
The tempura batter is so thin and tasty that you will not feel or taste any oil even when the tempura is served to you straight from the deep fried pan. A 5 star tempura restaurant although comes with a 5-star price. But definitely worth trying !!
We have decided to enter this coffee shop, with retro decoration. The service is good and the coffee they make is excellent, The ambiance and atmosphere there was fantastic. Spending a relaxing few hours in there with a cup of nice coffee and a piece of cake is fabulous!!

Restaurant is opened in 1906. Back then, beef dishes were very rare, but the restaurant served Kobe beef steaks and cutlets. Akanoren is a pioneer in serving Kobe beef. Soft, flavorful meat with fine, sweet, marbled texture just melts away in your mouth with its unique, unforgettable flavor. Beef can be enjoyed in shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, Kaiseki¬style, and teppanyaki.

The finest sashimi and saki restaurant. The restaurant is located in the northern Kiyamachi street, which has a nice location, but bit hard to find because it's on the fifth floor of the building.
The sashimi was beautiful and of course delicious. Each piece of sushi has a different taste and a lot of heart as you can see from the chef in how to make the sushi meal a very enjoyable one. They also have a variety of saki and shochu which needs to go hand in hand with sushi.
