Nishiazabu Noguchi （西麻布 野口）

Nishiazabu Noguchi hangs its noren curtains in a serene corner of Nishiazabu. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a pristine white‑wood counter, where a dignified stillness sets the tone for the evening.

At the helm is Chef Noguchi, who refined his craft at some of Japan’s most celebrated establishments, including Ginza Kojyu and Higuchi. Devoted to the essence of orthodox Japanese cuisine, he avoids unnecessary embellishment, allowing his meticulous technique to shine. His dishes highlight purity and precision—from a clear soup built on deeply extracted kelp umami to sashimi enjoyed with sudachi‑infused salt water.

The highlight of the course is the chef’s uncompromising dedication to the meal. Beginning with niebana—rice served at the exact moment it reaches peak texture—the progression continues to seasonal mixed rice and concludes with a luxurious eel rice bowl. The generous offer of unlimited refills reflects the chef’s warm and thoughtful hospitality.

Settle into the counter, enjoy conversations with the chef, and savor Japanese wines and rare sake selected to complement each dish. This is a restaurant perfectly suited for special occasions, from business entertainment to anniversaries, where you can enjoy a deeply relaxing and memorable dining experience.
