MK Guide Recommends
Far from Tokyo’s fine dining spotlight, Hiyama in Higashi-Kawaguchi quietly maintains the rigor and elegance of traditional kaiseki. With only a handful of counter seats and private rooms tucked into a modest multi-tenant building, the restaurant feels more like a secret known only to those who seek it out. Seasonal ingredients take the lead, whether in pristine sashimi, delicately grilled fish, or Kyoto-style vegetable dishes, all plated with studied restraint. Chef Hiyama’s philosophy centers on harmony—between presentation, temperature, and flavor—with each course unfolding as part of a broader rhythm. This is a place for slow meals and attentive conversation, best reserved for quiet celebrations or culinary reflection.
