Enishi

Should You Book Enishi?

If you have been to Enishi once, the question on a return visit is whether the experience holds up or whether familiarity dulls the edge. For a venue in Yokohama's Kanagawa Ward, where the dining scene rewards patience and repeat attention, the answer tends to be yes — provided you are going in with a clear sense of what you are looking for. Enishi sits in the Tsuruyacho district, and for the food-focused traveller who wants depth over spectacle, it is worth keeping on your shortlist. That said, the venue data available to us is limited, so we will tell you exactly what we know and where the gaps are.

What to Expect

Enishi's cuisine type, price point, and tasting format are not confirmed in our current data. What we can say is that the address — 2 Chome-19-1 Tsuruyacho, Kanagawa Ward , places it in a quieter residential-commercial zone of Yokohama, away from the tourist-heavy waterfront. For the explorer-type diner, that positioning tends to signal a venue built on local reputation rather than foot traffic. In Japan, that is usually a good sign. Restaurants in these pockets of Yokohama typically reward the effort to seek them out, and they tend to draw a more committed crowd. If a structured tasting experience is what you are after, venues in this part of the city often run fixed-course formats as standard , though we cannot confirm that for Enishi specifically without verified data.

For context on what a serious tasting experience in Japan's restaurant tier can look like, consider comparable venues elsewhere: HAJIME in Osaka and Gion Sasaki in Kyoto represent the upper end of the progressive kaiseki and course-menu format, while Harutaka in Tokyo shows how a tightly controlled counter experience can deliver remarkable precision. Enishi may occupy a different register, but understanding that spectrum helps you calibrate expectations before booking.

Booking and Logistics

Booking difficulty is rated easy, which makes Enishi a lower-pressure proposition than many of Yokohama's more reservation-intensive options. A contact number and direct website are not confirmed in our data, so your leading approach is to check current booking platforms or a local concierge service. The Tsuruyacho area is accessible from Yokohama Station, one of the city's main transport hubs, putting Enishi within practical reach whether you are staying centrally or coming in from Tokyo for the evening , Yokohama is under 30 minutes from Shinagawa by express.

If your trip extends beyond Yokohama, Goh in Fukuoka and akordu in Nara are worth factoring into a wider Japan itinerary focused on serious dining.
