About Azabu Kadowaki

Toshiya Kadowaki runs eight seats and no menu. What arrives is decided that morning, against what came off the boats at Toyosu and out of the ground that week, and the sequence is built live in front of you — no printed courses, no photographs, no phones on the counter. The dashi is the tell: kombu pulled just short of bitterness, bonito shaved to order, a clarity that makes the rest of the meal legible. Three MICHELIN Stars since 2020, and the kitchen has not loosened its grip since.

How far in advance do I need to book Azabu Kadowaki?

Reservations open two months ahead and the eight seats go quickly — book the day the window opens, especially for Friday and Saturday dinner. Hotel concierges can sometimes secure last-minute cancellations, but don't plan around it.

Is there a set menu, or does it change nightly?

There is no printed menu. Chef Kadowaki builds the sequence each morning based on what arrives at Toyosu and from his regional producers, so no two visits run identical, even within the same week.
