The story
ALTER EGO is an Italian restaurant at 2-2-32 Kandajimbocho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, and the Michelin Guide lists it as Recommended for 2026.
The restaurant's website describes its cooking as "Contaminated Italian Cuisine". The phrase suggests a kitchen that does not hold strictly to tradition. The sources do not list individual dishes, so the menu itself is the place to see what that label means in practice.
Counter dining is part of the setup here, and the room is air-conditioned. Gault&Millau gave ALTER EGO a score of 14.5 in 2026, which supports the Michelin listing for this modern Italian address in Tokyo.
