The story
DA PEPI is an Italian restaurant at 4-25-6 Sengoku in Tokyo's Bunkyo-ku, listed as Michelin Recommended in 2026. The kitchen works in a counter-dining format, which puts guests close to the cooking.
Alongside its Michelin listing, DA PEPI earned one fork from Gambero Rosso in 2026. The Italian guide's rating adds a second, independent voice to the Michelin recommendation for this Bunkyo-ku address.
Seating is built around the counter, and the room is air-conditioned. That makes it a comfortable fit for an Italian kitchen where the pace of service and the cooking can be followed from the seat.
