Fushikino (* / Tokyo, Japan)

I wanted to try a Kaiseki dinner in Japan and was found this place (not sure if on Reddit or other website). The restaurant had counter seating and was pretty cosy. I had initially expected to not get much in terms of interaction because of language barrier, but turns out they both had an English menu and staff all knew English. The atmosphere was pretty friendly. All in all one of the better fine dining experiences I had.

Menu:

Sakizuke (Appetizer):

Barracuda, Boiled Matsutake Mushroom, Chrysanthemum, Mibuna Greens, Sea Urchin

Bonito, Yolk Vinegar with American Silvertop, Shiso Flower

The 10 course dinner (with no alcohol pairing) came to 30000 yen.
