About this place
Glowing softly along the residential streets of Chidori in Ota Ward, Japanese dining spot Waon offers carefully prepared cuisine in a subdued setting. With a dining room centred around table seating, the space welcomes solo evening diners as well as those looking for quiet drinks paired with thoughtful dishes.
The menu features substantial set meals, from pristine sashimi sets to beef sukiyaki, pork hot pots, and crab zosui rice porridge. Portions are composed with restraint, making it appealing to order several items to share across the table.
The drinks list is well-stocked, featuring beer, plum liqueurs, and highballs alongside whiskies including Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Hibiki. As the chef prepares each dish to order, booking ahead or arranging an omakase kaiseki course in advance ensures an easy, leisurely dinner.
