Popular lunch menu "Kaisen-don" - Reasonable and excellent!
I ordered the "Soboro-don", but looking around the restaurant, the "Kaisen-don" was by far the most popular dish.
Many people at the tables around us ordered it, and I was impressed by its colorful arrangement and fresh ingredients.
Another attraction of this restaurant is that it is reasonably priced despite its Omotesando location.
Lunch at Tora VII is more than just a meal, it is an experience, and each dish is a culmination of Japanese culinary aesthetics. Fresh seafood is carefully selected by veteran connoisseurs from the Tsukiji market, and the quality of the food is uncompromising even at lunch. Next time, I would definitely like to try the popular "Kaisen-don" (seafood rice bowl).
A well-known haunt in Omotesando for the past 11 years
Tora VII is characterized by a calm Japanese-style space with a nostalgic atmosphere. Particularly impressive was the objet d'art of an old Shiseido signboard displayed in the restroom.
The attention to detail is evident in every detail, and every time I visit, I make new discoveries.
Although there are many fashionable cafes and restaurants in the Omotesando area, there are not many reasonably priced Japanese restaurants. Tora VII is one of those rare places, and it continues to be loved by many people. Many people enjoy eating alone at the counter, making it an attractive place to stop by casually.
At night, you can enjoy more authentic fish dishes.
The essence of Robata Yaki Restaurant "Tora VII" is its charcoal-grilled dishes at night. The chefs carefully prepare fresh fish carefully selected in Tsukiji according to the characteristics of the fish, and then grill them over charcoal with exquisite heat. In particular, the technique of grilling fish over a high, distant fire enhances the aroma and flavor of the fish, giving it a unique savory taste.
We hope to visit the restaurant at night next time to enjoy the highly acclaimed grilled fish. Dishes that pursue the original taste of fish are a must for Japanese food lovers.
