Mominoki House dishes could be described as French, except they're the creations of a very busy chef (who is also the owner), who uses lots of soy sauce, ginger, Japanese vegetables, and macrobiotic foods (there's even organic wine, beer, and sake). This alternative natural food restaurant, open since 1976 and in a category by itself, has split-level dining, which allows for more privacy than you would think possible in such a tiny place. Its recorded jazz collection is extensive. Dinner features approximately 50 a la carte dishes and may include tofu steak, free-range grilled chicken with ginger sauce, Hokkaido deer steak, brown rice pilaf, tempeh steak, and macrobiotic vegetable gratin with soy cheese and bean sauce. Especially good deals are the lunch specials featuring brown rice, miso soup, seasonal vegetables, and fish or another main dish (including vegetarian selections). There's an English-language menu, but daily specials are written on the blackboard in Japanese only. The chef, Mr. Yamada, speaks English, so if in doubt, ask him what he recommends.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
