Tomo - Lyon

What a treat in the heart of the gastronomic capital of the world. Japanese cuisine best! Both lunch and dinner will be with the care and the exception you expect from a high quality Japanese restaurant. It was a two for me yesterday, which meant both lunch and dinner. For the record I should make an image of the menus to capture the actual names. For lunch I had Tataki Don lunch sound; this includes Elan soup and an accompaniment. I paired the meal with a bottle of Kirin. The meal came quite fast, about 10 minutes, and look pretty impressive. The Tataki Don was beautiful; the shade of raw tuna meat, sprinkled sesame seeds and stripes of Nori were appealing to the eye. The visual spectacles did not disappoint my taste buds; fresh tuna, a hint of sesame, very mild/light vinegar from rice. A well balanced dish, I tried a touch of soy sauce and only a touch... it doesn't need it and I would argue that it interferes with the delicate balance of the plate itself. The miso soup had it typical cloudy essence with what looked like to be a much fresh / lighter version of seaweed. The taste was not as intense as it would normally be used. The accompaniment was well done and very tasty. I'm not sure what it was, but it was pleasant... someone's helping me with the picture. For dessert, I chose the green tea cake... a hint of sweetness as you would expect, dense texture and fine flavor of Macha. Google, if you read, can we read the comments section for breakfast, lunch and dinner... can sections for different reviews from the same person? It feels like I'm writing a book here! Dinner was the 5-course, plus dessert, tasting for 49€. And it was worth every penny... a journey of delicate, fresh and complicated flavors. This may need my laptop to write the rest of this review... keep tuned.

Nice place to eat good Japanese food. Small room, so don't hesitate to make a reservation. Beautiful list of choice and wine. 2 menus at night. 39€ and 49€ and totally worth.

Authentic and very good Japanese food. Very good service as well. The dining room could be cosier though.

Food was bland and price was too expensive. Small servings too, was still very hungry after. The waiters were very nice though.
