Tanbo Yoyogi

Rice is the focus here. The staff hand selects different kinds of rice from particular farms in places like Niigata Prefecture to serve each month, and they mill the day’s supply every morning so it’s fresh. They have classic Japanese decor—like being in a ryokan—but more than anything this is a place to really enjoy excellent rice. Definitely try the seasonal fish they have on offer. Before you’re finished with your meal, try pouring in the tea and adding the flavorings that come with the dish and have your rice ochazuke style.
