Description

A noren of Tokushima indigo, Tokushima sakes, fish from Naruto and Awa beef make Hiroyuki Kanda’s roots clear. Selecting ingredients carefully and applying minimal preparation is Kanda’s style of cooking. For example, rice should be cooked to perfection, each grain distinct, with small holes like crab burrows dotting the surface. The chef’s motto is ‘subtle flavour is true flavour’, and it is in the subtle flavours that depth of character is known.

Review summary

Kanda, a highly-rated Japanese restaurant in Minato, is praised for its exceptional food quality and attentive service. Many reviewers highlight the freshness of ingredients, exquisite presentation, and the chef's personal engagement. However, the venue is noted for being discreet and difficult to locate, with a compact, minimalist interior that some find cramped. Service experiences vary; while many appreciate the warmth, others report issues with pacing or lack of greeting. Although the culinary execution is consistently commended, concerns regarding ambiance comfort and value for money persist. It suits diners prioritizing authentic, high-quality cuisine over spacious luxury.
