MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
Dreaming of following in the footsteps of his sushi chef father, the chef moved to Kyoto to learn the basics of Japanese cuisine. The welcome with a cup of deep-steamed green tea is a tip of the hat to the chef’s Shizuoka roots. Clasping to heart his father’s maxim that ‘cooking is self-expression’, he expresses himself through goma-ae made with freshly roasted, freshly ground sesame. The calligraphy of the restaurant’s name was written by the chef’s mother; the vessels for sake were crafted by his father.
