Itoh Dining By Nobu

This piece was stellar a very pleasant surprise in such a small mountain town. The food was really phenomenal. Some of our best food we ate on our trip. The service was impeccable. Everybody was very friendly kind and the presentation was stunning. We did the price fix lunch. We came back two days in a row one day we did the fish and the other day. We did the 140 g Wagyu A4, which was stunning. Sitting at the counter was a real treat. We love the sashimi in the appetizer, which only came with the higher end lunch option. The salad was very tasty slightly overdressed for my liking. The soup was beautifully presented in a small bowl with a lot of attention to detail. The dessert was a sorbet with some sort of small cake slice which was also very tasty. If you want the Nobu experience at a Steel of a deal. The lunch option is an incredible deal. We also decided to try the fois gra , which was out of this world. Overall, this place is incredible and should not be missed from the service to the Food to the presentation. The beautiful scenery outside the windows. It's definitely worth a visit.

Through the luck of chance I took a wrong turn looking for the park entrance and discovered Itoh. I stopped in for lunch and had the A4 Wagyu option, adding the foie gras. The first course of red snapper ceviche was delicate and delicious; the red snapper placed on top of the ceviche sauce. Second course was a turnip soup that was seasoned perfectly to balance the turnip bitterness with a light herbal oil on top as an accent. For salad the shunkyo daikon and lettuce had a light carrot vinegar dressing with roasted cashews and almonds. The foie gras was decadent and melted with each bite, a light orange oil to add citrus hints and the crostini had just the right amount of give. I opted for the 140g Wagyu and it’s a very large portion but couldn’t stop till it was gone. It was served with a wasabi black pepper roux and fried garlic that complemented it perfectly. Dessert was a chestnut tiramisu that wasn’t too sweet and allowed the subtle chestnut flavor to come out. I’ll definitely return for dinner in the future!

We had the seafood dinner, and it was the best meal we’ve had in Japan so far. Honestly, we enjoyed it even more than our two-Michelin-star dining experiences in Tokyo. Highly recommend!

Delicious meal with great service. The lunch menu is perfect. I ordered the seafood set and my friend the Wagyu short rib. Highly recommend !

We had a wonderful dinner here tonight while celebrating our honeymoon and everything was absolutely perfect. Every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The Kobe beef was exceptional and the red snapper sashimi was truly unforgettable. The service was impeccable, attentive and gracious, and made the evening feel very special. We also loved the unique setting, perched among the trees, with a soft and beautiful light that created a magical atmosphere. A memorable experience we will cherish. Thank you for such a special evening.
