Wakuriya is a small, family-run restaurant that exceeds expectations with its outstanding dishes and personalized service. The chef-owner couple takes great care in curating a perfect meal, from the glasses to the food, presented beautifully on each plate. The dinner service features set courses, with each dish pleasing to both the eyes and the palate. Guests often enjoy unique and yummy Japanese food in an intimate setting, creating a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. The restaurant offers a memorable dining experience that lasts over 2.5 hours, with eight courses served efficiently, and ingredients that are fresh and clean. The chef's careful presentation highlights dishes like urchin and crab rice, oven-baked cheese red trout, and sea bass, making it a great place to celebrate special occasions. Reservations are challenging but possible if made 30 days in advance by leaving a voice message at midnight, as phone lines are busy. Wakuriya remains a gem for those willing to plan ahead, offering a satisfying experience worth every penny despite the reservation process.
