Mitsui

The story

Mitsui Tokyo | Japanese Omakase and Shabu-Shabu | Michelin Recommended

On the fifth floor of a building in Azabujuban, Tokyo, Mitsui brings a focused approach to Japanese dining. The restaurant specialises in two classic forms: omakase, where the chef selects each course based on the day’s best ingredients, and shabu-shabu, the delicate hot pot of thinly sliced meat and vegetables cooked in a light broth.

The setting is intimate, with counter dining letting guests watch the preparation up close, and table service available for groups. The cuisine is firmly Japanese, drawing on seasonal produce and precise techniques. The kitchen’s consistency and skill earned Mitsui a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026, a recognition that underscores the restaurant’s commitment to quality.

Whether you come for a multi-course omakase meal or a shared shabu-shabu experience, Mitsui delivers a straightforward, polished taste of Japan in the heart of Tokyo.
