About HIGASHI-YAMA Tokyo / Studio

Set in a quiet Meguro residential pocket, this minimalist studio strips washoku down to pristine technique and pure architectural calm. Diners gather around the open counter to watch chefs prep seasonal plates with steady shokunin precision. Wagyu sears cleanly, eel comes poached then grilled, and the signature tamagoyaki arrives unexpectedly thick and sweet. Midday regulars lean on the multi-dish lunch sets for balanced vegetable stews and savory pickles. Downstairs, the subterranean lounge bar pours spice-infused Hoshiko plum liqueur cocktails into the late hours.

  • Modernized Washoku & Tamagoyaki: Modernized washoku courses spotlighting tender grilled wagyu and a signature oversized rolled omelet.
  • Minimalist Counter Setting: An open kitchen framed by clean architectural lines in a quietly renovated Meguro backstreet space.
  • Midday Tasting Sets: Multi-dish midday courses offering seasonal stews, appetizer platters, and matcha sweets at an accessible price.
  • Basement Lounge Bar: A dedicated subterranean hideaway serving curated drinks like spice-infused Hoshiko plum liqueur.
  • Considerate Accommodations: Staff accommodate dietary restrictions and physical comfort, tailoring raw dishes to cooked and providing seating cushions.
