3. Sushi-Takehan Wakatsuki (Sushi)
This refined, hidden-away sushi spot is somewhat removed from the busier city streets. While officially recognized for its excellence by a food guide, the atmosphere at this restaurant is relaxed and the owner will welcome you with a cheerful smile. The food owes its superb quality to the seafood which is brought in fresh daily, such as fish, shijimi (clams), and ounagi (giant eel), famous items from Lake Shinji in the chef's home prefecture of Shimane, and kuroawabi (black abalone) from the Sea of Japan. One especially recommended choice is the sweetly stewed [Niunagi Sushi], featuring wild-caught ounagi from Lake Shinji that weighs over 1 kg. The flavor is full and fatty without being overwhelming, and seems to simply melt in your mouth. Once you've enjoyed your fill of sushi, end your meal with the rich [Shijimi Soup]. You will appreciate the richness of the flavor the instant you taste it, and it will only continue to unfold as you enjoy this soup.

5. EBISU GRILL Tefu Tefu (Gastropub)
Sample grilled dishes made with yukimoro (snow-aged) meat at this casual gastropub. The [Mountain Meat Burger with Raclette Cheese] (1,980 JPY) is highly recommended, and has a fun appearance, too! As the name suggests, the buns of this "meat burger" are, in fact, hamburg steaks! The surface of the raclette cheese is heated with a direct flame until gooey, and then poured on top of the burger. Watching the cheese cascade over the thick burger from above is quite the sight, and you will find yourself taking pictures despite yourself! This restaurant has a bright, open feeling reminiscent of a cafe, but the lights are slightly dimmed at night to enhance the mood.

14. Nakameguro Iguchi Ebisu Branch (Izakaya)
This restaurant on a back street is located close to Ebisu Station, and since there is no signboard outside, the door leading inside doesn't particularly resemble a restaurant at first glance. This tucked-away spot certainly has a refined feeling, and diners can experience the flavors of top-grade A5-rank Kuroge Wagyu beef here! Only the meat's exterior is lightly seared, and you will love the melt-in-your-mouth, high-quality fat and umami. The recommended [Chef's Recommendation Beef Course] provides various cuts of this superb meat, as well as seasonal vegetables, for a fully satisfying dining experience.

15. Ginpei Ebisu Branch (Kaiseki)
This restaurant is on the 38th floor, providing nighttime views of Tokyo that are sure to take your date to the next level! Of course, the food is also excellent at this well-established restaurant, which was founded in Wakayama Prefecture, known for its sea bream, and has been in business for some 50 years. The secret to the flavor here rests with the skill of the chef who selects the fresh, seasonal fish. This confident selection in turn makes the preparation of the light dishes possible. Normally when making "nitsuke", fish is stewed with ingredients like mirin (rice wine for cooking) and sake, but here, only Wakayama's Yuasa soy sauce and water are used in order to highlight the flavors of the fish itself. The [Taimeshi Course] (5,400 JPY) provides an opportunity to sample an entire sea bream steamed together with rice, and is highly recommended!

16. IGARASHI EBISU (Japanese Cuisine)
This is a restaurant where you can enjoy Japanese cuisine made with seasonal ingredients in a cozy atmosphere. All the dishes made by the discerning chef are served on beautiful plates.
The recommended [Sea Urchin Takikomi-gohan] is a delicious dish in which luscious uni (sea urchin) is used to its fullest potential. Sea urchin from places such as Hokkaido is cooked with rice in maguro-bushi dashi (stock made with dried, shaved tuna) inside a clay pot, thus imbuing the rice with the flavor of sea urchin. It is truly a magnificent dish in which the fragrance of the sea and the rich sweetness of the sea urchin will envelop your mouth after just one bite. Sake is available, but the Burgundy Wine, hand-selected by the chef, complements the Japanese cuisine here just as well!
