A couple on their very first trip to Japan tried Japanese food at 天空の月 渋谷 (Tenku no Tsuki Shibuya), a private-room izakaya in Dogenzaka, Shibuya. Everything they thought about the food is recorded in our video.
Our guests had never been to Japan before, and the room itself got a reaction before the food did.
Fresh sashimi, a grilled fish collar and salmon ochazuke follow.
Best for couples and small groups who want to talk without a crowded dining room around them.
Budget roughly ¥5,000–¥5,999 per person for dinner, and far less at lunch.

About this review
We are a Japanese team that takes guests from overseas to Japanese restaurants and films the meal (YouTube: Amazing Japanese Food!). Impressions are our guests’ real, unedited reactions. This visit: a couple originally from Belarus, now living in Rome — in Japan for the first time. They arrived having eaten sushi and ramen abroad, but never wagyu and never a grilled fish collar. Every quote in this review is taken word-for-word from the video.
🥇 Our pick: the giant shrimp with mayonnaise
In the video, around 15:50
It arrives as one enormous shrimp under a mayonnaise sauce, and it is the dish both guests named again at the end of the meal.
What to order at 天空の月 渋谷
Umeshu — plum wine（梅酒）
The first toast of the night (around 3:06 in the video)
Neither guest had tried plum wine before.
Suggested as the opening drink, it went down in one sip.
In the video, around 3:15
“It’s sparkling and refreshing,” one of them said — a good second round if the plum wine is too sweet for you.
Godofu — the otoshi appetizer（お通しのごどうふ）
In the video, around 3:56
The meal opens with godofu — a very smooth tofu — topped with marinated mushrooms and a sauce.
Both guests said tofu is not commonly eaten where they come from.
In the video, around 4:14
Madai sashimi — sea bream（真鯛のお造り）
In the video, around 5:34
Our host introduced the fish as madai — sea bream — before the first piece.
The plating got a reaction before anyone had eaten anything.
In the video, around 5:58
Wagyu beef（和牛）
Their first wagyu, sliced and served medium (around 8:00 in the video)
This was the first wagyu of their lives.
They explained they had wanted to try it for years but had never done it at home, where it appears only on expensive restaurant menus.
In the video, around 8:12
Kanpachi kamayaki — grilled amberjack collar（カンパチのかま焼き）
In the video, around 12:44
Our host explained how to eat it: squeeze the lemon over the top, watch for the bones, and take it with the grated daikon on the side.
It was the dish that produced the longest run of reactions in the whole meal.
Both of them mentioned it again in the closing minutes.
In the video, around 13:18
If you only eat fish occasionally, this is the dish to spend it on.
Giant shrimp with mayonnaise（大海老マヨネーズ和え）
In the video, around 15:50
The size was the first thing they noticed, before the sauce.
They picked it up and turned it toward the camera to show how big it was.
In the video, around 16:24
Salmon ochazuke（鮭のお茶漬け）
In the video, around 18:03
Rice in a dashi broth with salmon, nori and mitsuba, plus something crisp on top.
Neither guest had eaten rice served in soup before.
In the video, around 18:24
Matcha sundae（抹茶サンデー）
In the video, around 21:30
Matcha ice cream, whipped cream and pieces of matcha cake on one plate.
They had been talking about matcha minutes before it arrived, and stopped to photograph it.
In the video, around 21:20
