Reviews
We where a Family Group of Five Persons out of Germany on a Tour through Japan and to spend a Day ore two at the Expo in April 2025. While in Tokyo we randomly passed the Restaurant Kai Nidaime and decided to have Dinner. The Staff spoke little English since you find more Local Guest there than Tourist. The Staff was Delightfull and of great help and made us feel verry welcome. The Sushi is more than fresh and the Meat Dishes Melt on your Toung. Pure Foodtainment. Sake ist served in a Glas that stands in a wooden Box and its Poured till the Glas and Box are filled to the Brim. We sat in a Privat Area and had a lot of fun while the Dishes where served till we could not eat anymore. Thank you for this great Evening.
The food was prepared freshly you can see the passion and flavour from each bite. Props to the chef for noticing how long it took for us to receive our food and followed up with his colleagues. We appreciate your level of service.
