Murata Restaurant is a traditional Japanese establishment located on the ground floor of an office building. The warm wood furnishings and glass frontage create a welcoming ambiance. Customers can choose between counter service for sushi or small private dining rooms.
The restaurant's service, ambiance, and most of the food offerings are praised as stellar. However, some diners found the rice served with their meals to be subpar, with one describing it as "the driest rice ever served at a decent Japanese restaurant." Despite this, the restaurant's other dishes impress, including the unaju (grilled eel), salmon shioyaki, and a variety of sushi items such as tuna, salmon, scallop, and shimaaji.
The menu features a wide range of authentic Japanese dishes beyond just sushi, including katsu, teriyaki, and chawanmushi (savory egg custard). Desserts like sweet red bean ice cream and strawberry cream puff cake are also enjoyed as a refreshing end to the meal.
Overall, Murata Restaurant offers a traditional Japanese dining experience with a focus on high-quality ingredients and skilled preparation. While the rice may not be to everyone's liking, the restaurant's strengths in service, ambiance, and the majority of its dishes make it a recommended destination for those seeking an authentic Japanese culinary journey.
