Kagurazaka Ishikawa sits on the ground floor of a building in Tokyo's Kagurazaka district, a few minutes' walk from Iidabashi, Ushigome-Kagurazaka, or Kagurazaka stations. Chef Hideki Ishikawa, born in Niigata in 1965, moved to Tokyo at 20, entered the culinary trade at 23, trained at established Japanese restaurants, went independent in 2003, and opened this restaurant under its current name in 2008.
The room is built around a seven-seat counter, where kaiseki courses are served through the dinner service. Four private rooms are also available: three that seat up to four guests and one that seats up to six. Dinner runs Tuesday through Saturday from 17:00 to 22:00; lunch is offered only on Saturday, from 12:00 to 15:00. The restaurant is closed Sundays, Mondays, and public holidays.
The price tier is listed as luxury, placing it at the top bracket for Tokyo kaiseki dining, though the site does not publish exact course prices. Reservations are handled by phone or through the restaurant's own website, and given the small seat count across counter and private rooms, booking ahead is advisable.
