One Star: High quality cooking
Featuring sustainable satoyama cuisine that connects diners with nature, this outpost of its Tokyo namesake serves a seasonal set menu built on Japanese traditions finessed by Western techniques. Having worked with chef-owner Narisawa for 10+ years, the head chef uses mostly Chinese ingredients in his cooking. The iconic "Bread of the Forest" is fermented and baked tableside in a stone pot and infused with seasonal produce such as white tea or kumquat.
