Michelin ☆ Acquired Japanese Restaurant 3/2021 Japanese Cuisine "Shigematsu" ✨✨
One day, I heard a rumor from the owner of a Japanese restaurant that there is a shop that buys good ingredients at the market, and this year it won the Michelin ☆. The head chef himself goes to the market every morning to personally check and purchase the finest ingredients. Looks promising! Akinton, a lover of Japanese cuisine (..) will give it a try! The restaurant opened in October 2016. It is located on the 4th floor of a building along Sotobori-dori in Ginza 6-chome, a 3-minute walk from Ginza Station on the Tokyo Metro. Despite the old building, it has a lovely atmosphere. The head chef has a good sense of style. Enjoy the food at the 7-seat counter / 2 private rooms in front of the counter. How does the food taste?

■ Service
- It has only been half a year since it opened, but they are working hard and the service is good.
- The head chef is also good at customer service. Despite his appearance, his customer service is good (he also has a sense of business).
■ Price
It was 27,200 yen. A bit expensive for me, but it seems like a fair price.
【Strong commitment to cuisine. Using good ingredients and adding unique ideas to the dishes】
I have been eating various Japanese cuisines, but this is a new type of chef. Good sense, eager to research. I would like to try the seasonal dishes as well. I enjoyed the meal. Thank you.
