My favorite Restaurant in Tokyo is Kotonoha!

It is run by a friend who is not going the expensive and great path, he wants as many people as possible to enjoy his fantastic food (so affordable and awesome is the path he chose)

The restaurant has two entrances. Left side for normal guests, where you can sit at the counter or at tables in the restaurant. Right entrance goes directly to Separees section, so Celebrities, politicians etc. can have privacy from the public. (The table design is different in the Separees, so check my pictures for that)

Kotonoha offers Lunch and Dinner

LUNCH

They have a special menu, 450g of A5 Grade Wagyu for 6.000 Yen.

I ate this a couple of times with a friend, but my friend the owner told me, that they have it as (click)bait on the Menu, no normal human would order a 450g Steak for lunch... (so they were making a huge loss every time I showed up for lunch:)

Here is the 450g Lunch menu. It is impossible to eat this alone! So we usually ordered more rice and shared it with 2-3 persons. 

DINNER

Usually we start Dinner with some entrees and drinks.

Japanese Mushrooms with scallops 

Some delicious starters 

A5 Grade Wagyu (2500Yen to 2800Yen)

Sirloin and Fillet Steak (This steak melts in your mouth. The flavor is so incredible, I have converted vegetarians into Meateaters. If they are in Japan, they eat meat...)

Champion Wagyu Filetsteak

This is a Super-Wagyu Steak. I rate it even higher than Kobe Beef (which is way over-rated) 

Usually only the emperor or other super rich individuals could ever get their hand on this Wagyu. It is so rare, that even the chef of this restaurant was only able to source it a couple of times in his life.  

This did set us back 8000 Yen per 100g, but it was worth every penny (we only paid the wholesale price, normally that 100g would go for 25.000Yen (250$)

(As you can see, the table is different, this picture was taken on a different day in one of the Separees, when my friend called me to come to the restaurant as he was able to source this super rare Wagyu)


Scallop

Super tasty and delicious 

Uni-Don (Sea-Urchin Ball with Sushi Rice)

This is Uni from Oma, the diver who get the Sea-Urchin out of the sea, labels the glas with his signature. Of course this is Japan, the Sea-Urchin is super fresh, as it is delivered within hours to the restaurant. 

This Don is not offered on the menu, it's hidden secret dish. It was only 2000 Yen, which is incredible given the price of Oma Uni.

Our last plate of Sirloin Steak... to finish the evening ;)
