Happo-en Ryotei Enju, Shirokanedai – Magnificent Sushi in a Tokyo Japanese Garden

My love of Japanese food is followed closely by Japanese gardens, and at Enju you can enjoy both! Enju is located in the magnificent tranquil garden of Happo-en. They serve lunch and dinner, but the lunch is a great value and lovely as you look out over the gardens. After having a delicious Kaiseki or Sushi meal, you can then wonder through the gardens viewing beautiful foliage in the autumn and cherry blossoms in the
spring. Truly a wonderful dining experience.

My other favorite Tokyo Japanese restaurants with beautiful garden views include Ukai Tofuya (Shiba) and Innsyoutei (Ueno).

Happo-en Ryotei Enju

Enju changes the menu each month to follow the seasons. They typically offer 5-7 set lunch options. The sushi set for 3,800 JPY is very popular and limited in daily serving so you must reserve. To view the menu each month (in Japanese and English) check here. We had a lovely meal with chawanmushi (warm egg custard), marinated greens, an artistic platter of bite-size sushi, soup and a creamy dessert for 3,200 JPY

. The staff dressed in Kimono add to the elegance.

The restaurant offers counter seating (most popular so make reservations a few weeks in advance in peak season), table seating or private room seating. The tables and private rooms are family friendly although I find going childless to Enju a pleasure.
