Every course is a work of art”. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, from the moment we stepped into this restaurant, to the fabulous room they gave us facing the best view of the beautifully landscaped Koi pond. Every dish was perfectly prepared, and the taste was delicate and intense at the same time. The tempura goes well with a dash of the Himalayan salt. Even for a blunt instrument like me, my mouth tingled with an explosion of tastes. If you want to explore a traditional Japanese tempura restaurant, complete with the classic Japanese hospitality, this is the place. (Btw, we came here in 2017, nothing changed much, just as we liked it) Ps. Like all things traditional, this restaurant prefers that you make a reservation in advance, they do not have an online reservation, so you have to call them. But if I, with my pidgin English could communicate with a Japanese to make an advanced booking, so can you.

Last year, I have 9 course Kaiseki with my father. The tempura with salt quite impressive. Restaurant atmosphere especially private room could offer you the great dining experience.

Hospitality is important to me. Nakasei's staff made me feel warmly welcome each time I went (twice in three days whilst I was in Tokyo), the food was delicious (I had Ebi Tendon - ebi tempura over rice), & the sake selection complemented the food (as a bartender at a Japanese restaurant this is noticeable to me). I had a seat overlooking the pond the first time & a table the last time. They excel at what they do. It's no wonder they've been in business since before the industrial revolution.

Best tempura I have ever had. The batter was thin and doesn’t over power the seafood. Can taste the freshness of the fish, eel, shrimp etc. Rice and miso soup also super tasty. Food is served on beautiful lacquer dishes and the restaurant is beautiful traditional Japanese style with a courtyard. Can also make reservations for private tatami rooms. Staff here very respectful, top class service and very friendly. An amazing experience - highly recommended.

As far as a great place to get food in Japan it was ok. Not my favorite place. It did have an amazing atmosphere the staff was really nice but the food was just ok.
