The uniquely elegant counter of Yoshino cedar reflects the taste of the chef. Kaiseki meals showcase the chef’s original vision. In the middle stage of his prix fixe menu, the chef offers tempura, with each piece individually deep-fried. At lunchtime, appetisers delight the eye as well as the palate; in the evening, offerings increase in number, with sharpened focus on the ingredients. As the tempo of the menu gradually rises, the diversity of skills on display in the open kitchen piques interest.
