Frommer's Review
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 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, roasted organic chicken with rosemary, grilled organic perch, a seasonal vegetable gratin, salads, and homemade sorbet. Note that there's a dinner table charge of ¥315 ($2.60/£1.30) per person. 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.
