The story
On the third floor of a building in Ginza, Oryori Katsushi offers an experience defined by intimacy and precision. The restaurant seats just seven at a counter, a space that feels both compact and calming. There is a warmth here—not forced, but natural, the kind that comes from a chef who works directly in front of his guests.
The evening unfolds as an omakase course of ten to twelve dishes, built around the finest seasonal ingredients. The chef’s pride in his selection is evident. A shorter “recommended course” is available from 21:00 for those who prefer a lighter, more focused meal. At lunch, a limited omakase set offers a taste of the same philosophy in a more compact form.
Oryori Katsushi has been awarded a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026. The recognition fits naturally: this is Japanese cuisine at its most direct, where the quality of the ingredient and the skill of the preparation speak for themselves. The setting encourages quiet attention—to the food, to the chef’s movements, to the changing season reflected on the plate.
