【Points】 - The stance of being a high-class izakaya is comforting - Can be utilized in various scenes such as business dinners or dates - Private rooms are also available, providing a solid experience 【Atmosphere/Service】 For those who have the impression that izakayas are casual and cheap, this is a must-see. This restaurant offers a different kind of casualness compared to kaiseki or ryotei, while pursuing top-notch service. The atmosphere of the restaurant is at the level of a ryotei, and the customer service is very polite. I used a private room, and it was a very comfortable time. The restaurant was fully booked, and the clientele was good, creating a calm atmosphere. 【Food】 There are no prices listed on the menu. The price is adjusted according to the number of dishes ordered and the number of people, so the pricing is adjusted accordingly. Also, by informing them of your preferred level of flavor when ordering, they will tailor the dishes to your liking. All the dishes were beautifully presented and delicious, truly living up to the name of a "high-class izakaya." - Ordered Menu: - Assorted sashimi - Sesame mackerel - Abalone butter grill - Tanakada salad - Chicken wings tempura - Simmered Alfonsino - Luxury bowl (sea urchin, salmon roe, fatty tuna) 【Review Information】 (Posted on 1/23/2022) - Rating: 3.07 points - Number of reviews: 5

Today, I came here. It seems that there are no prices listed on the food menu... Upon entering the restaurant and stating my name, I was guided to a private room on the second floor. First, I cheers with a draft beer~♪ - Appetizer (crab and mushrooms): Extremely rich!! This is not your average appetizer... Super delicious! - Sesame mackerel sashimi: Winning!!! The fresh mackerel has a crispy texture. The sesame sauce is incredibly tasty. - Vinegared mozuku seaweed: Such a delicate dish... It's almost like a drink♪ - Potato salad: Delicious but nothing out of the ordinary... - Karasumi (bottarga): Served with champagne... It's huge!! If it was suddenly served, you might mistake it for a carrot (laughs). Delicious! - Tanaka-ta Menchi-katsu (minced meat cutlet): First thing to notice is the cabbage. It looks like waxwork (laughs). The cutlet has a crispy coating and juicy meat!! The sauce and mustard are incredibly delicious. - Champagne: Extremely delicious. - Unzen ham cutlet: What is this!? Look at the beautiful cross-section! The coating is thin... This is a new favorite. - Grilled thick tofu: The most delicious in Japan!? Really!! Fluffy♪ - Lemon sour cocktail: Strong carbonation. - Chicken wing tempura: Elegant♪ Simple but incredibly delicious. - Garlic toast: Wow!!! I love this. - Tomato highball with Tabasco: Mix it up♪ What is this!? It's too delicious. A taste that becomes addictive. You can have as many as you want! - Luxury bowl: Amazing. Mixing the sesame mackerel with sea urchin and fatty tuna... I ascended (laughs). - Miso soup with eggplant, tofu, and kujo green onion: No shortcuts in the miso soup. The broth is rich. This is true cuisine. Incredibly delicious. - Pickles with sesame sauce: Love it. Overall... you can have the best time in this high-end restaurant. The dishes are prepared according to the number of people, and for items that are difficult to share, they provide individual servings. The menu is well-suited for an izakaya, but the prices for each dish are unknown. The food is just delicious. However, the prices are quite high. I would like to come back again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

All dishes at this izakaya are priced according to market value. They offer a variety of dishes such as sashimi with spear squid, sea urchin, and two types of sea urchin for comparison, thick and thin sliced flounder, ikura donburi, grilled matsutake mushrooms, salt-grilled chicken thigh, deep-fried chicken wings, gorgonzola tofu, beef curry in 1/8 size, and rich honey ice cream.

When choosing dishes from the menu, there isn't a sense of cohesion or standout dish that leaves a lasting impression. Each dish is made with good ingredients and tastes delicious, but it doesn't resonate emotionally. It's hard to remember why I went there in the first place. This was my third visit, and I still feel the same way. It's a good restaurant for business dinners or dates, where the experience itself is the main focus. However, it's not the kind of place where you go seeking dishes made with passion and care.

I was taken to this restaurant by someone who has been very helpful to me. Originally located in Nishi-Azabu, it is now behind Aoyama Cemetery. They have both counter seats and private rooms, and the quality of each dish, such as sesame mackerel and horse sashimi, is on a completely different level from regular izakaya food. The quality is quite high! Of course, with that comes a higher price, but it is a great place for entertaining clients or taking foreign guests. They have a wide selection of wine and even rare Japanese whiskies. I enjoyed a delicious Hakushu highball!

First visit after relocation. A lineup of delicious Kyushu specialties gathered tightly, as always delicious, but expensive. The variety of alcohol is also abundant. The newly relocated store is spacious, clean, and comfortable with private rooms. From sashimi to meat, vegetables, no matter what you eat, you can't go wrong at this high-end izakaya.

When I was young, I was taken to a high-class izakaya that impressed me with how delicious everything was! Everything I ate was delicious. I came here for the first time since they relocated. I like course meals, but I also like being able to order whatever I want as much as I want, like here. Ordering a la carte allows me to adjust based on how full I am, so I can enjoy a lot of drinks. I always decide on the luxurious bowl for the finish, so I went for the small size this time when they said it was possible. It's so beautiful that just looking at it gets me excited. This time, in addition to the luxurious bowl, I ordered sesame mackerel, hairy crab, horse sashimi, scallops, abalone, and karasumi. They were all delicious, but I especially liked the seared karasumi and scallops. I want to go to this restaurant every day! I always end up ordering seafood, but I also want to try dishes like chicken nanban and curry someday. Thank you for the feast!

This is a high-end izakaya located in Nishi-Azabu. It is in a quiet area, but the inside of the restaurant is spacious with many private rooms. The seafood dishes were fresh and delicious, possibly due to the fact that it originates from Fukuoka. I was particularly impressed by the sea urchin and salmon roe bowl! The portions of each dish are small, allowing you to enjoy a variety of dishes.

I was invited by an acquaintance to dine at a famous restaurant known as the most expensive izakaya in Japan. The restaurant is indeed impressive, but it can be confusing for first-time visitors. As for the food, it is delicious. However, it is also incredibly expensive. As a commoner, I find it hard to fully comprehend the prices. Nevertheless, the quality of the ingredients is top-notch, so you can't really go wrong with the dishes.

I have been to this restaurant many times. It had been a while since my last visit, and this time I felt a bit disappointed. I knew that the menu didn't have prices listed, but this time I wasn't satisfied with the bill. Also, there were a few instances where our orders were forgotten, and the freshness of the sashimi seemed to have declined compared to before. It was disappointing.

The restaurant is still delicious as always, but it's ridiculously expensive. It's a bit of a concern how pricey it is, but everything you eat there is really delicious and amazing. It's not a place you can casually drop by, so be careful. Make sure to bring plenty of money.

We visited with a group of five close friends. Surprisingly, there were no prices listed on the menu! Whether it's at L'Osier or at Le Table de Joel Robuchon, prices are usually included somewhere. Hmm, I wonder if this is just for our private room or if it's normal for this restaurant. I'm not sure if everything is listed as "market price" or "based on customer impression." I had heard the copy "the most expensive izakaya in Japan" beforehand, so I was prepared for it. The quality of the food is on par with a Japanese restaurant. Honestly, there are no flaws in any of the dishes. However, since it's an izakaya, the service is not quite at the level of a top-tier Japanese restaurant. They were willing to make dishes that weren't on the menu, as long as they seemed reasonable. This might be the perfect place for entertaining foreigners. Thank you for the meal.

"OMAKASE Course (19,030 yen, including tax) with a stay time of about 1 hour and 50 minutes at Tanakada (3.79), known as the "most expensive izakaya" in Hakata, located in Nishi-Azabu (3.51). The 2-hour course is priced at 17,300 yen (not your typical izakaya), with a 10% service charge added, bringing the total to 19,030 yen (also not your typical izakaya). I found an available slot on the booking site OMAKASE and visited the restaurant. According to the store page on Tabelog, it has 80 seats in a large space. There are counter seats on the first floor, and I climbed the spiral staircase to the table seats on the second floor. As expected in Nishi-Azabu, the interior is flashy and extravagant. The menu states that "receipts are not available on the day" and will be provided later via email, fax, or mail. A la carte food items have no prices listed, while course meals and drinks do. A medium draft beer (Suntory Premium Malt) in a 400ml glass costs 1,186 yen. A medium bottle of Sapporo Lager (500ml) is priced at 1,319 yen. It's quite a shock to pay 1,319 yen for a bottle of Sapporo Lager (Red Star) when it's only 324 yen at a liquor store or around 600 yen at a local pub, but that's the price you pay in Nishi-Azabu. If you order sake, you automatically get Fuji Mineral Water (Waragi Water) as well. The cost of just the water alone likely exceeds 1,000 yen (since there is no detailed receipt provided). The nickname of the "most expensive izakaya" is well deserved. The OMAKASE Course (19,030 yen) included the following dishes: 01. Steamed rice with whitebait and sea lettuce 02. Tanakada's specialty Sesame Mackerel (mackerel from Oita marinated in sesame soy sauce) 03. Assorted sashimi 04. Steamed hairy crab from Hokkaido 05. Grilled blowfish sperm sac from Nagasaki 06. Tuna toro cutlet 07. Grilled fillet (Black Wagyu Chateaubriand) 08. Steamed sea bream with helmet sake 09. Additional dish: Bubble rice bowl (15,180 yen) 10. Roasted green tea 11. Matcha ice cream Here are my thoughts on the dishes I tried: [3.7] Steamed rice with whitebait and sea lettuce A gentle flavor with a topping of sea lettuce. The steamed whitebait is delicious with a complex and delicate taste. It's common to have steamed rice as an appetizer at high-end sushi restaurants, but Tanakada's version surpasses them in taste, elevating it beyond the level of a typical izakaya. [3.7] Tanakada's specialty Sesame Mackerel (mackerel from Oita marinated in sesame soy sauce) A crunchy and chewy fresh mackerel with seasoned seaweed, perilla, and real wasabi. The sesame soy sauce seasoning is on the salty side, but avoiding it makes the mackerel's umami less satisfying. The mackerel focuses more on texture than flavor, hence the need to enhance the umami with saltiness. A regular customer, likely a woman from Minato-ku, mentioned that after trying the Sesame Mackerel here, she couldn't enjoy it as much in Fukuoka. It's a popular item among customers ordering a la carte, making it one of the restaurant's specialties. [3.5] Assorted sashimi 1. Hokkaido sea urchin 2. Miyagi flounder 3. Yamayuki (from Toyosu Market) Maguro toro (fatty tuna) 4. Yamayuki (from Toyosu Market) Maguro akami (lean tuna) 5. Fukuoka squid 6. Fukuoka red sea bream Each person gets one piece of each variety on a plate. The highlight of the assortment is the crunchy and chewy fresh flounder. In Kyushu, aged sashimi like in Kanto is not favored, and this fresh and textured sashimi is considered the standard. However, the unexpectedly soft red sea bream was a disappointment for someone who prefers the Kyushu style. It might be better to source squid from Edo or Sagami Bay rather than specially importing it from Fukuoka. I hope to find value in the unique 'fresh texture' that the restaurant offers, which is not typically favored in Tokyo. The tuna sourced from the high-end sushi restaurant Yamayuki is rich and flavorful. "

It was a delicious meal with a Japanese feel! The entrance of the restaurant was very clean, with a gorgeous spiral staircase, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was very elegant and sophisticated! The ham cutlet and tuna sashimi were very delicious! I would like to go again♪

It's Tanaka Sushi. I knew of its existence but it took me a while to find it. Since discovering it, I've been back many times! The menu has everything from seafood to meat, all delicious. You can choose the ingredients for the finishing rice bowl. The green tea after the meal is also amazing.

Unfortunately! The famous store that used to provide surprises and excitement at the Hakata main store... now feels like a completely different store. The staff level is too low. They cannot engage in conversations about the food, cannot read the atmosphere, and have a bad attitude. Even if they provide delicious food at this kind of store, it doesn't taste good. Maybe that's why I didn't have much of an appetite? The price felt very cheap.

After moving, it was my first time going there and I felt like the location was farther than before. Taking a taxi was convenient though. It takes quite a bit of time to walk there (even by bus). The difficulty of getting there might create a hidden gem vibe. The food was consistently delicious as always. Although it's a bit pricey, the deliciousness makes it worth it. Around 30,000 yen per person.

It was a high-end izakaya with its main store in Hakata! The drinks were served in lovely small glasses filled with plenty of ice. We ordered a lot of drinks. The dishes were served one by one and each one was delicious. The open seating was close to each other, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Today at Tanakada, I was planning to try something new that I don't usually order while looking at the menu, but in the end, I ended up ordering something similar to what I always get. Here are my recommendations: - Tanakada Salad: The balance of vegetables, small shrimp, burdock chips, and small fish chips is amazing. - Sesame Mackerel: This sesame mackerel might be my favorite here. - Ham Cutlet: The ham cutlet is so juicy and delicious that it almost feels like a main dish. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is great too, highly recommended for days when you want to order individual Japanese dishes. Thank you for the meal!

This is a high-end izakaya that suits the atmosphere of Nishi-Azabu with its tastefully luxurious and sophisticated interior. The menu does not list prices for the dishes. The portion sizes of the dishes are balanced to match the overall order, so the pricing is flexible. On the other hand, there is a clear pricing structure for the drinks. The dishes are all incredibly fresh and delicious, using carefully selected ingredients. Each dish is small in size, allowing you to order your favorites a la carte style. The dishes I had that day included: Today's appetizer (otoshi) - Chirashi and Aosa chawanmushi, Eggplant simmered in soy sauce, Sesame mackerel, Horse meat tartare yukhoe, Tanakada salad, Sashimi assortment, Horse meat sashimi, Fatty horse meat sashimi, Red meat whale bacon, Live sea urchin wrapped in seaweed, Grilled shiitake mushrooms, Fried chicken wings, Tuna cutlet, Ham cutlet, Luxury rice bowl (salmon roe, fatty tuna, sea urchin), Black bean kinako ice cream. I enjoyed champagne and wine by the glass, and the total bill came to around 20,000 yen per person. It was a highly satisfying dining experience.

Highball for 14100 yen. Is this really an izakaya? The interior is luxurious, and even though I was dining alone, I was seated in a private room due to the counter being full. The restaurant is attentive, offering single portions for solo diners. The prices, however, are indeed quite high as rumored. The thick-fried tofu and chicken wings were delicious.
