Nestled in the alleys of Nishi-Azabu, a renowned culinary district in Tokyo, is "Jushu," a Japanese restaurant.

At the beginning of his culinary journey, Chef Masaki Senzaki had aspired to specialize in Western cuisine. However, after experiencing the extraordinary dishes at the traditional Japanese restaurant "Totoya" in Osaka's Kitashinchi district, he was deeply moved and decided to shift his focus to Japanese cuisine. After honing his skills for nine years at "Totoya" in Kitashinchi, Chef Senzaki moved to Tokyo. He further refined his craft by working at various Japanese restaurants and sushi establishments until finally opening Jushu in a tranquil residential area of Nishi-Azabu in 2010.

Through unwavering dedication and relentless research, Chef Senzaki's efforts soon bore fruit, and Jushu gained recognition as a popular dining destination.

Jushu offers Kansai-style kaiseki cuisine, incorporating fresh vegetables, seafood, and Saga beef directly sourced from Chef Senzaki's hometown of Saga. The dishes are meticulously prepared, showcasing the inherent qualities of the ingredients without the need for extravagant presentation or the use of excessive luxury ingredients. The courses are omakase style, allowing the chef to flexibly accommodate the preferences of the customers.

To complement the cuisine, Jushu features a selection of Japanese sake, primarily sourced from Saga. The "Nabeshima" brand offers approximately ten different varieties, including rare labels, allowing guests to enjoy a sake-tasting experience.

The restaurant provides a welcoming environment with a friendly chef engaging in casual conversations at the counter. Additionally, there are table seats available for business entertainment or dining with friends. The cozy atmosphere seamlessly blends traditional sukiya-style design, utilizing the high ceiling, with a tastefully decorated wooden floor inspired by European aesthetics.

Once you visit Jushu, it will undoubtedly become a valuable and cherished spot for authentic Japanese cuisine in Nishi-Azabu.

    A nice and fine Japanese restaurant in a quite upscale neighbourhood. The owner is kind and diligent in giving us briefing on every course he presents. The staff also keep their service to the end as my wife and I would have left over our iphones and found ourselves stranded if they had not picked up the gadgets and run out to catch us. Thank you very much.

    The food was amazing! All the ingredients and courses tasted out of this world! Too many courses to count, a lot of fish, as well as duck and beef.

    We communicated with the chef through Google translate, which worked a treat and we got to share some laughs, whilst also learning many new things!


    The only thing that let it down a little, was how quiet it was. There was a couple who bumped into and said they went every quarter as the season change, a testament to how delicious the food was. But after they left, it was only my wife and I! A little quiet, but an incredible night to remember!

    This was simply a perfect meal. The chef was lighthearted and truly skilled. Each dish was crafted from excellent ingredients imported from the chef’s hometown, perfectly cooked, and delicious. Everything on the plate, down to little garnishes and the plate itself, was prepared with significant time and attention.

    At Jushu Japanese Restaurant in Tokyo, everything's spot-on – from the awesome kaiseki grub to the top-notch service. Chef Masaaki Senzaki's cooking is next level, earning this joint its well-deserved Michelin star.

    Artfully created courses with well balanced flavors and coordinated ingredients. Flow of dinner is well executed and harmonized. Chef Senzaki takes personal attention to ensure all details of the dining experience are executed perfectly. The perfectly grilled eel shines among the omakase courses.
