Kawamura

Tokyo, Japan

This introduction-only restaurant is essentially an intimate clubhouse for beef connoisseurs. Hiroyuki Kawamura is famed for his Western-influenced cooking style and an uncompromising attitude to provenance. Clear, intense beef consommé is mind-blowing in its confident simplicity; wagyu tartare is as smooth as pure silk; and blushing steak so tender you could slice it with a spoon.
