MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
Three Stars: Exceptional cuisine
Shinobu Namae welcomes guests in the spirit of ‘ichiza-konryu’, the philosophy that a restaurant is built on connections among chefs, staff, guests and food producers. The gastronomy and culture of Japan are here expressed through prix fixe menus. After the aperitif, the steaming hot risotto arrives―its inspiration drawn from the freshly cooked rice in 'chakaiseki' and brimming with the seasonal bounty of both mountain and sea. ‘Artisanal Vegetables’, the signature dish, is an homage to farmers. Weak matcha tea, borrowed from the etiquette of the Sowa tea ceremony, signals the meal’s end.
Gastronomy & Sustainability
MICHELIN Green Star
"We use domestic ingredients exclusively to ensure survival of producers and reduce food mileage. We do not use fish that are endangered. By using thinned wood, we reduce the emission of CO2 and contribute to forest revitalisation."
