Gonpachi, Tokyo

One of the most expensive restaurants in Tokyo, former Japanese president Koisumi once treated G.W. Bush a dinner on the 2nd floor.

The food was very well prepared, however, a mixture of both cold/raw fish and greasy fried pork put a big challenge to a foreign stomach. I felt sick at the beginning of the 5 th course (total 8 courses) and have to give up on it. Such a meal cost ~10,000 JPY (80 USD)

Some say the food and design is not really 100% Japanese, but were altered to entertain Western people's taste.

Favorite Dish: Can not remember

My traveling style is, eat what local eats. So if you dare trying sushi or sashimi, Gonpachi has its best sushi in town. The taste is definately diferrent from wehat you have tried outside Japan.

It open from 17:00pm to 05:00am, so you don't have to worry where to eat even it is late at night.

Favorite Dish: Sushi and Kushi Yaki.

"Gonpachi" is located in the seaside Odaiba area. To find Gonpachi is not arduous task. It is one of the numerous restaurants in AQUA CITY, which is the symbolic commercial building in Odaiba area. Gonpachi raised the reputation when former US president Clinton visited Gonpachi's Nishi-Azabu branch with Prime Minister Koizumi. Many people realised the name of Gonpachi at that time.

Favorite Dish: The foods you can enjoy here are typical Japanese, such as Udon, Soba, Kushi-yaki and Sushi. The taste is not extremely great, but Gonpachi has a good atmosphere and offers reasonable prices. The most positive point for me is the opening time. Gonpachi always open from 11:00am-5:00am! You can enjoy fine Japanese food almost anytime you want!!
