Odo East Village
Chef Hiroki Odo's East Village counter reframes his two-Michelin-starred kaiseki into a rice-driven, entirely gluten-free izakaya you order from a la carte.
Head Chef Koji Toyoda runs the 24-seat counter, built around a menu that treats rice as its centerpiece — the signature Today's Kamameshi arrives in an iron pot and can be finished ochazuke-style or crisped into yaki-onigiri. Expect seasonal small plates like dashi-marinated tomatoes and akami-chutoro sashimi alongside grilled wagyu marinated in koji and miso, all designed to be shared rather than tasted through in courses, with sake and a kumquat highball to match.
Best for: A la carte kaiseki with friends or a date, especially for gluten-free diners who still want fine-dining technique
