What to know
The Kuroge Wagyu beef shoulder at eman comes charcoal-grilled, which is only one example of the Spanish-influenced cuisine that makes this restaurant popular. Chef Kenta Umehara honed his skills at Michelin-starred restaurants like Asurmendi, Accordo, and Aro before opening this intimate counter dining experience in Shirakawa. With only a handful of seats, eman focuses on sophisticated dishes, including the frequently ordered gazpacho. Reservations are recommended, especially if you want to secure a spot for a date night or special event.
