Abundant seasonal foods reflecting the bounty of Japan in plates and bowls, while refined preparations following Japan’s old lunisolar calendar prove the worth of ryotei experience. A range of carefully selected sakes are available; a collection of antique glassware sets off drinks and dishes in a cheerful light. ‘Zeshin’ abbreviates a phrase meaning ‘believe in your path and follow it wholeheartedly, always asking whether a thing is right or wrong’. The restaurant’s wish is to impart the joy of eating.
