Japanese Restaurant HINOYA

HINOYA is proud of its 30-year history serving authentic, traditional high-class Japanese meals (Kaiseki Ryori) in the TORITSUDAI area in Meguro.  My friend and I visited the restaurant, which recently re-opened after a yearlong renovation, for lunch. 

HINOYA is a traditional Japanese restaurant, but its entrance is unusually stylish.  It has several kinds of private rooms with tables & chairs, large Japanese style tatami rooms for parties and a Japanese Tea Ceremony room.  The Tea Room was constructed in the traditional Japanese style architecture without a use of nails.

It is conveniently located near Toritsudai Station on the Toyoko Line.  It is only a 1 minute walk from there.  It faces a busy street, but is quiet inside.  Toritsudai is not really in a busy downtown neighborhood, like Shibuya or Shinjuku, but it is not so far from Shibuya (about 15 ~ 20 min. by train) .  I would recommend to visit it for lunch or dinner with a group or even with kids.
