Hikouki

Seasonal ingredients meet creative cooking at Hikouki, where Japanese sake and shochu are part of the appeal. Diners’ accounts mention thoughtful combinations such as octopus with herbs and fish with curry-flavoured risotto. The dish names alone don’t reveal exactly how they taste, but they suggest a meal that invites you to notice how the ingredients come together, rather than simply settle for familiar classics.

Some guests who chose a course say the seasonal dishes stayed with them. One diner described a course priced at 7,700 yen as “satisfying and interesting”. That price and menu reflect a particular visit, so check the latest course details when booking. Guests have also enjoyed pairing the food with sake, and the restaurant is noted for its wide wine selection. Dinner reservations are recommended; if you plan to take your time over the food and drinks, it may be worth booking a table in advance.
