Den

Seasonal menus of strikingly presented contemporary dishes, with wine pairings, in a stylish space.

Den is the Harajuku tasting-menu counter for chef Zaiyu Hasegawa's contemporary kaiseki. Two Michelin stars, a perpetual presence on the World's 50 Best. The room is warm. The courses come with stories. The Dentucky Fried Chicken is the signature joke that ended up a serious dish. Reservations open months out. Patience matters more than budget.
