MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
Three Stars: Exceptional cuisine
Cuisine that does not change does not improve. To advance the craft he learned at a ryotei, Hitoshi Takahata has brought it to a counter-style kappo. His omakase menu, for example, bends standard practice by letting guests choose grilled items. Grilled spareribs are prepared with soy sauce, honey and red wine, elevating this Japanese favourite. The calligraphed tablet is written by Takahata’s father; artwork is the handiwork of his daughter; the proprietress handles customer service. A restaurant supported by a family’s love.
