Set in a house built in 1950, Kado serves the best kind of
katei-ryōri
(home-style
cooking) - perfectly executed with only the freshest, seasonal ingredients. Dinner
is a set course that changes daily, but if you want to order a la carte (or just sample
some sake), hop over to the counter bar on the right. Reservations recommended
for dinner.

Along the languid moat that forms the edge of Kitanomaru-kōen, this is one of
Tokyo's best al fresco dining spots. The restaurant serves tasty wood-fired pizzas,
seafood pastas and grilled meats, while over on the 'deck side' you can settle in
with a sandwich, muffin or just a cup of coffee.
