MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
Chef Naoaki Nishii brings ingredients to life using traditional cuisine. One example is the thick-cut smoked salmon, paired with chestnuts in autumn and turnips in winter to emphasise the seasonal feeling. Meat dishes are garnished with kuro shichimi (‘seven black spices’) to add a Kyoto touch. In homage to classic French cooking, he does not spare the sauce, taking care to impart a modern flavouring. Butter and cream are used sparingly for a lighter taste.
