Restaurant: Ninja Akasaka

Started by tofugu · 11 months ago

I came upon this Ninja Akasaka’s website while planning a trip to Japan with the Tofugu team; when I presented the idea of going there to the boys, they were excited, to say the least. Even when I started to have second thoughts and tried to talk them out of going, they wouldn ... Continue reading »

  • The card trick ninja was a level 4 master ninja, if I remembered correctly.
  • Place looks awesome. I wanna go. Haha.
  • It's really magic! It must be! o.O
  • This place looks cool, I want to go there too :-)
  • that reminds me of the drama, trick. i wanna go to that club that's like hospital one day. flickr is nice. u guys have odd/nice pics.
  • Did you loose the card? Or did you still have sovenier (sp?) safe somewhere? Haha. I would have probably lost the card, it would be somewhere safe, but I wouldn't know where. Haha. That seems really cool! I wanna go! The last trick was really wierd.
  • Fredy: Oh my gosh, where IS that card?

    Koichi: Look for my card, please?
  • ehh? I dunno where it is, it was given to you, for safe keeping. Oh, oh, wait!? Is that...is something in your ear? no...oh. too bad.
  • This is one of the places that I would recommend when you head to Japan. I heard Steven Spielberg likes to eat their when he visits Japan as well. I definitely like the introduction battle when you first head into the restaurant and the ninja magic that is presented while you wait for your food is a plus. Also the presentation of their dishes look awesome; what other restaurant serves dishes with a katana blade or lights up your escargot with a fuse. Although the prices are a little expensive, I still think it’s worth it.
  • It was too pricey in my opinion. Id rather have spent my 10,000 yen on konbinis and UFO catcher... :o
  • Viet: I seriously think that if you/we went again we could get away with eating less while still eating better food by ordering ala carte. Although, all your stuff looked pretty good to me. And you got sushi!


    Also, remember that point during the trip where we were like, "Ugh, no more konbini food"? I think it might have been when we got to Kyoto...

  • Yea.. We did get sick of eating konbini for every breakfast. But I want some now!


    edit: I take that back. I want some takoyaki.

  • That video at the bottom is so cool. Having ninjas cook right in front of you, and doing magic tricks looks really fun.
  • That place looks like so much fun! ^^
  • I read about this restaurant on another blog, right before I went to Tokyo (this past May). I had planned to go, but I didn't have time. Sounds like you had a blast!
  • wow! i just sumble upon this blog when i was searching for some RECOMEN.
    Its because the inviting 日本とアメリカマク video ^^.
    anyway, i check out koichi ben and finaly ended up here, and been browsing for a while now (i love the J-dramaholic video XD, Koichi u own!!)
    anyway, as i take it u guys travel around quite much ne~ ever visited oosaka? if one day i'm goin to Japan its my ultimate destination :P

    The restaurant u guys visited looks a lot like the one i've seen in Shoujiki Shindoi.. All the Ninja theme ;)

    PS: can i comeback later, this blog is just uber fun XD
    PSS: Koichi-kun i'd like to reccomend Akihabara@DEEP drama ^^
  • That restaurant looks fun! Dinner and Ninja magic tricks, awesome. Next time I go to Japan I'll try going to one of thoses themed restaurant. I want to try the Alice in Wonderland themed restaurant that a friend told me about. Also, I'll be a bit more courageous and try to go in a Maido Cafe.
  • Whoooa... That was trippy.. I'm soooo doing that!
  • Dude,that is so awesome.
    If I find one in new york,I'm definitely going!
  • lol the generic magic trick was great LMAO ha ha i guess they ran out of hokus pokus so he broke out a deck of cards lol
  • I saw about this restaurant in a "documentary-like" show here in Sweden and I was quite intrigued with the shinobi theme used- and I was really looking forward to take a look there once I get to finally have a trip on Japan (Hell, I HAVE to have that paid university in Tokyo!) but... wow, with all you have written it is mostly just show what they have there. What a shame...
    Meh, I'll check it out anyway, although I suppose the costs are rather... expensive XD
  • Wow! What a great restaurant to experience a Soup like that one!

    *^-^*
  • I'll look that place up when I'm there, that is if I got the cash to spend there (if anything, I might stop there before I head back to America).

    On another note UFO bowls kick ass!!
  • That ninja in the end was impressive! Although he wouldn't last long in ninja fights. If anything, he'd leave them in awe as he runs away
  • Oh my goodness I would Love to go there!!
  • I've been to the one in NYC late summer last year and it was hella fun. The food was ok - nothing spectacular, although it was presented "pretty well" (hehe, you know them ninjas, they can be pretty tricky..) I guess my group was also lucky enough to have a really "fun" ninja-host. Their magician was also amusingly good.
    Check it out when you find yourselves lost in the big city.
  • What I can say is very nice and helpful as well as informative post...really help me

    very much more!! Thanks..
