Eat: Daigo
Michelin-starred private vegetarian dining in the heart of Tokyo.
Tokyo, Japan
Tasting menus from 110 usd
Set upon the grounds of the Seisho-ji Temple in the shadow of the Tokyo Tower is this discreet restaurant that has danced between one and two-star Michelin and the “World’s Best List” accolades for a decade. Moreover, having a menu entirely focused on vegetarian cuisine is somewhat of a rarity in Japan, where seafood-dominant menus often reign. But, it is the traditional atmosphere we love. Escorted by a lantern-carrying gentleman across the garden to a hallway where diners enter private rooms, one for each party, with a sunken table and windows to the garden. Servers don kimonos and kneel in a traditional fashion as tea is poured and beautiful dishes are served. In the bustle of Tokyo, the relaxed pace and formality is a welcome reprieve in this dining discovery!
