Frommer's Review
Takamura is a must for anyone who can afford it. Located at the edge of Roppongi, this wonderful 60-year-old house, perched on a hill and hidden by greenery, is a peaceful oasis that time forgot. You'll dine in one of eight private tatami rooms, each one different. Charcoal hearths in the rooms are built into the floors, and windows look out onto miniature gardens. Takamura has a very Japanese feeling, which intensifies proportionately with the arrival of your meal -- seasonal kaiseki food arranged so artfully you almost hate to destroy it. Your pleasure increases, however, as you savor the various textures and flavors of the food. Specialties may include quail, sparrow, or duck, grilled on the hearth in your private tatami room. Seating is on the floor, as it is in most traditional Japanese restaurants, but with leg wells. The price of dinner here usually averages about ¥27,000 to ¥33,000 ($224-$274/£113-£139) by the time you add drinks, service charge, and table charge (¥2,000/$17/£8.40 per person). Dinner is for parties of two or more, while lunch is available only for parties of four or larger.
