Home-style traditional Japanese cuisine with new sensibilities

Right off the main avenue about a 3-minute walk from Jimbocho Station sits a quiet, secluded location that is home to the restaurant "Kanda irusa" is located in a corner of a cool, glass-enclosed building, just a 3-minute walk from Jimbocho Station, tucked away from the busy main street. The restaurant has long been popular for its kaiseki cuisine, which is homey yet hard to imitate. In June 2023, the restaurant will celebrate its 20th anniversary in business, captivating guests with a charm that has grown in maturity.

Chef Daiki Ishikawa entered the world of Japanese cuisine at the age of 18 and trained for about 17 years at famous Japanese restaurants such as "Tankuma" and "Ukaitei" before assuming his current position in May 2018. At "Kanda Ilusa," he strives to preserve the traditions of Japanese cuisine, while at the same time valuing a unique sense of aesthetics and creativity. The kaiseki course, which incorporates seasonal ingredients, is the best choice. The restaurant uses carefully selected ingredients, such as Kyoto vegetables shipped directly from Tanba, fresh fish directly from the market, and aged Japanese beef, to create dishes rich in seasonal flavors that delight the eyes and palate of guests. The restaurant also offers 8 to 10 varieties of sake to match the dishes, including popular brands such as "Shimehari Tsuru" and "Denshin," which are always available throughout the year, as well as limited edition sake to match the season's cuisine.

The first floor is a private room with a sunken kotatsu for 2 to 18 persons, suitable for entertaining guests or for anniversaries, etc. The second floor has a more casual atmosphere with a one-panel counter seating 8 and tables seating 10. The tables can be partitioned off with partitions to create a semi-private room. The name of the restaurant, "irusa," is an ancient Japanese word meaning "the direction or time when the moon and other elements enter. We hope that the moon will lead you to this urban oasis of a hideaway space, where you can enjoy the finest cuisine and time.
