Top Japanese eatery reopens its doors

When it comes to Japanese food in Beijing, the ITO Restaurant in the Fangcaodi area is one of the most popular eateries.

Founded by famous food critic Huang Jianhua, who is also a real estate tycoon and artwork collector, the restaurant offers authentic Japanese cuisine.

Located in Huajia Hutong, a small hutong north of the celebrated Parkview Green Fangcaodi, the restaurant is easy to find thanks to the dozens of Japanese-style red lanterns outside.
