## At the top of a quiet side-street staircase, you will find Nishiazabu Ichino

At Nishiazabu Ichino, our entire team welcomes you with warmth.   
In a space so quiet you would scarcely believe you were in Tokyo, you will find an iconic single-plank hinoki counter, along with two private rooms.   
We hope you will relax over each dish, taking your time, and that the warmth of our omotenashi stays with you long after you have left.
