MUSHROOM TOKYO is a specialist dining spot dedicated to celebrating the humble mushroom in all its variety. Tucked into the ground floor of the Okajima Building near the heart of Harajuku, this small but memorable restaurant puts fungi centre stage, offering dishes that range from rich mushroom soups to inventive rice bowls and tempura preparations.The menu changes with the seasons, reflecting whatever varieties are at their peak from local growers and foragers. Each dish is designed to showcase the earthy, umami depth that mushrooms bring to the table, and even diners who do not typically gravitate towards vegetable-led cooking will find plenty to enjoy. The kitchen is confident and the plating is careful without being fussy.
The space is compact, so arriving early or slightly off-peak is wise if you want to avoid a wait. It is a particularly good choice for a warming lunch on a cooler day. The restaurant is a short walk from Meiji-jingumae Station and fits easily into a Harajuku walking itinerary.

If you like mushrooms, this place is a MUST! Their menu rotates with the seasons and there is a plant-based course menu that genuinely changed my view of mushrooms (for the better!!) Every dish blew me away, and the chef came out and introduced each ingredient and chatted about their process. Every part of this meal was a delight and I can’t wait to go back. Reservations are required for dinner and it’s a very intimate dining setting, so bring a date and be prepared for the best mushrooms you...

If you like flavorful and hearty mushroom dishes you will enjoy Tokyo Mushroom. I got the mushroom lunch, which included soup, salad, "hash browns," a main, and some unexpectedly delightful gelatto. My companion had the curry, and said it was the best Japanese curry she has ever had. No mushroom, no life, no brake! Small venue.

Being an avid mushroom lover, this place is a must go for us. The food here is an eye opener to how mushrooms can be cooked in so many other ways. Located at a quiet back alley at one of the streets at omotesando, it took us quite a while …

If my memory serves me correctly... My sojourn at MUSHROOM Tokyo has been the greatest dining experience of my life. Nearly 30 years ago, I watched Chef YAMAOKA battle on the TV program "Iron Chef." As a child obsessed with both mushrooms and cooking, I knew I had to reach his restaurant. Some day... In 2024, my chance had arrived. After a long but, not long enough, 2 weeks in Japan; MUSHROOM was the final stop. I ordered the Mushroom tasting menu, obviously! Though, staring at other people's...
