One Star: High quality cooking
There is a particularly beautiful sunset view from the elegant dining room overlooking Ayameike pond. Susumu Sasaki puts to work his many years of training in Switzerland and France, creating harmony between what he learnt there and the Japanese ingredients. He introduces the local vegetables prior to the meal out of respect for the producers. The name means ‘iridescent’, invoking a rainbow and his desire to span Nara and Europe in his approach.
