Capturing the vibe and energy of Tokyo’s Golden Gai district in the Shinjuku neighborhood, Wakuda’s entrance of bright neon and glowing lanterns gives way to a modern dining room featuring stone and wood surfaces and Shohei Otomo’s large ballpoint pen canvases. What awaits inside this restaurant at the Palazzo is Michelin-recognized chef Tetsuya Wakuda’s delicate menu of fine sushi, Ora King salmon, soft shell crab and grilled meats. Want to really treat yourself? Make a reservation to dine in the secret eight-seat omakase room and tuck into the nine-course menu ($225) while sipping rare Japanese whisky and small-batch sake.
