Chef Michi Takahashi moved a long way to bring his skills back to Japan.
He was running a popular French-Japanese restaurant in Manhattan Beach, California, when he decided it was time for an about-turn.
His first Tokyo venture, recommended by author and manager of Bento.com Robb Satterwhite, is a tiny cafe specializing in opulent burgers and other American foods.
What Eat lacks in size it makes up for with zealous flavors.
“The Cajun lamb burger with roast paprika is quite compelling, and the asparagus salad, with radicchio, currants and lots of blue cheese, is a real treat," says Satterwhite.
The Kobe beef burger is addictive. The chicken tacos, served with heaps of avocado, are a winner.
Crunchy Cajun chicken steak (with greens, bean sprouts and salsa), cold pea and potato soup and an appetizing duck confit each allow Takahashi to show off the skills that endeared him to Californians.
There are plenty of specials on the blackboard every day. Everything on the menu is ready to take out.
Open Monday - Saturday, 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m., 6-10:30 p.m. Sunday, 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Eat, 2-12-27 Kita-Aoyama, Minato-ku, tel. + 81 (0) 3 6459 2432
