MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

One Star: High quality cooking

"Simplicity is the peak of elegance" seems a fitting adage for this stunning kaiseki counter. In Japanese, "tsukimi" means moon viewing (a harvest festival honoring the moon at its fullest and brightest); and following the moniker quite literally is a central motif of the moon. Illuminated shelves of ceramics and mirrored panels reinforce this light-bright aesthetic. Service is seamless and unaffected, enhancing the overall experience.The progression of the these whimsical, seasonal courses is strategic and imaginative. To start, chilled caviar with warm scrambled eggs and potato purée. Up next, chopped scallop matched with sea buckthorn sauce and a nori crisp for crunch.Beverage pairing is available, but stick to à la carte for an ace sake selection.
