Located in one of Japan’s most luxurious hotels, the InterContinental
Tokyo, in the heart of the Akasaka district, Unkai Japanese Restaurant
provides the ultimate gourmet experience. With an amazing view
overlooking a traditional Japanese garden and pond that change
throughout the seasons, Unkai showcases seasonal specialties and
the absolute essence of Japanese cuisine.
Lead by chef Takeshi Yohiyasu, who is devoted to the discovery of
new ways of presenting Japanese Kaiseki (a traditional banquet)
intertwines his signature dishes with the stories he recalls from his
ancient roots. At Unkai, his goal is to make everyone experience the
blend of old and new culinary arts.
The restaurant offers its diners an assortment of traditional Japanese
cooking, including seasonal sushi and sashimi, miso soup, tempura or
the exquisite Japanese Ohmi beef. And, of course, the famous multiple-
course Kaiseki degustation meal, that is served by traditionally dressed
kimono staff in the private dining rooms.
For the ultimate luxury experience, Unkai provides the private Tatami
dining rooms, that feature traditional Tatami flooring, offering a
truly unique dining event. All private rooms look out onto the garden
and provide an exclusive ambiance for family gatherings, business
meetings or catching up with friends.
For over 30 years, InterContinental Tokyo has been a hospitality
leader in the Japanese capital, welcoming guests to its 844 rooms, 12

also has a 32-year history that goes back to the establishment of the
hotel, formerly known as ANA Hotel Tokyo, in 1986. Recently, the
hotel won the Luxury City Hotel/Japan prize in the World Luxury
Hotel Awards 2018, while Unkai became the Global Winner of
