Den

If you can only go to one Michelin-starred restaurant in Tokyo, Den should be a top contender. Serving some of the most exquisite food in the city, the kaiseki restaurant has a playful feel, as evidenced by courses including black truffle custard served in a Starbucks-style mug and “Dentucky Fried Chicken,” which arrives in a red-and-white to-go box with the chef’s face printed on it in lieu of the KFC Colonel. Note: Den is extremely hard to get into and reservations must be made far in advance.
