07.Wagyu Kaiseki
Miyoshi
Kyoto, Japan
Miyoshi Kyoto sits in the narrow, high-spend category where wagyu is treated through kaiseki logic rather than steakhouse abundance. The eight-seat counter format, Tsutomu Ito’s beef-focused cooking, Tabelog Silver recognition in 2026, and an OAD Japan ranking place it among Kyoto’s serious meat addresses rather than casual yakiniku rooms.

Gjelina
Los Angeles, United States
On Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, Gjelina has held a consistent position in Opinionated About Dining's North America Casual rankings since 2023 and carries a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025.

● 1 artisanView →
14.Modern Kaiseki
Uemura
Kobe, Japan
Kobe’s kaiseki scene sits between port-city cosmopolitanism and Kansai restraint, and Uemura belongs to its small counter-led tier. The draw is not spectacle but discipline: an 11-seat counter, seasonal Japanese cuisine, Tabelog Award recognition, La Liste scoring, and a format that rewards diners who understand kaiseki as sequence, timing, and proportion rather than luxury theatre.

● 1 artisanView →
17.Seasonal Shizuoka Omakase
Seirin
Shizuoka, Japan
Seirin places Hamamatsu inside Japan’s serious kaiseki conversation rather than treating Shizuoka as a stop between Tokyo and Kyoto. The appeal is its counter-scale reading of seasonal Japanese cuisine, backed by Tabelog Award Silver recognition in 2026, previous Gold recognition, La Liste scoring, and OAD inclusion.
● 1 artisanView →

Barolo, Italy
One of Barolo's most historically anchored estates, Marchesi di Barolo sits at the centre of the village on Via Roma and holds a 2025 Pearl 3 Star Prestige award.

24.Modern Japanese Innovative Omakase
Hasegawa Minoru
Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo’s innovative dining tier has moved toward smaller rooms, controlled pacing, and producer-led cooking rather than theatrical fusion. Hasegawa Minoru belongs to that narrow category: a four-seat Minamiazabu counter with Minoru Hasegawa’s name on the door, a 2026 Tabelog Silver award, OAD Japan recognition, and a price band that places it among the city’s serious destination restaurants.

Miami, United States

London, United Kingdom
Waltz occupies a quietly deliberate address on Scrutton Street in Shoreditch's eastern fringe, where EC2A's tech-corridor offices give way to a more considered after-dark scene.

46.Traditional Japanese Robatayaki
Torishige
Tokyo, Japan
Torishige belongs to Tokyo’s older pork-skewer tradition, where postwar street-stall habits, offal grilling, and counter culture carry as much weight as polish.
