If you want to savour authentic Japanese cuisine then Shunbou restaurant at Grand Hyatt Tokyo is for you. Here, guests can taste the four seasons of Japan in Kappo and Ryotei-style.
One can choose to dine on gorgeous cherry-wood tables in the main dining room or experience a traditional Kaiseki served in private ryotei rooms. My meal at this restaurant included lots of Japanese seasonal delights such as an assorted appetiser, soup, sashimi, grills among others. I also choose to have Shunbou-mai rice, which is grown and harvested in Yamagata prefecture. What’s interesting is that the dishes are served on a beautiful Aji-ishi Japanese granite stone counter. I also tried dishes like the Hida beef croquette that was quite juicy and crunchy; perfectly cooked deep-fried Kyoto chicken; and simmered daily fish, which was well-rounded in flavours. Vegetarians can opt for small bites featuring tofu and grilled vegetables, among others.
VERDICT A great spot to explore Japan’s food and dining culture.
