The restaurant stands in a residential neighbourhood of Toyonaka, the chef’s hometown. It has an open kitchen with counter seating, so diners can enjoy flavours fresh from grill and oven. The fare is squarely based on the classics on which he apprenticed in Paris. Seafood and consommé jelly and beef wrapped in a pastry shell offer a modern styling with the accent on lightness. The focus at Point is the trinity of guests, producers and ingredients – converging these three on the single point of ‘cuisine’ is the inspiration behind the name.
