Eatrip

Hidden in Harajuku sits this unassuming humble home with a shabby-chic garden. The juxtaposition itself feels thoroughly Japanese, even before the fresh seasonal dishes arrive at rustic tables indoors and on the cozy outdoor terrace. Owner Yuri Nomura is known as the Alice Waters of Japan for her tireless promotion of organic living and dining. The day’s well-priced omakase menu items are served on large sharing plates; the English-speaking manager happily translating for foreigners who find there way to this leafy haven.
