Kotaro

Snagging a seat at the small bar or handful of tables at Kotaro is a challenge, but those lucky enough to get one can experience some of the finest izakaya cuisine in Tokyo. The hip, no-menu restaurant has a chill vibe and attracts a stylish mix of locals and visitors. Guests communicate their preferences to the chef, who then whips up spectacular Japanese small plates like potato salad, deep-fried beef, sashimi and handmade udon noodles from the open kitchen.
