Description

Summary: A remodeled Taisho-era house offers a dining experience blending tradition with contemporary techniques

Set in a remodeled Taisho-era residence, the dining room opens to a courtyard and exudes an Old World mood. The host crafts prix fixe menus that blend local customs with Chinese and French techniques, turning carefully chosen ingredients into distinctive dishes. Seasonal festivals bring playful touches as ingredients are gathered from nearby sources, including foraged greens along the river. The theme Shu-Kyaku Ittai emphasizes unity between guests and staff for a warm, memorable experience.
