Description

Summary: A tiny counter temple where a devoted duo crafts bites with perfect timing and hushed reverence.

Sawada stands as a compact sanctuary of dining, seating six around a counter where a husband and wife team collaborate to present a carefully curated sequence of small plates. The room exudes calm, with no photos and a punctual, ritual rhythm that mirrors a shrine-like devotion to simple, exacting craft. The menu centers on prized ingredients, with the rice tempered by kamesu and salt to harmonize with the delicate bites. This is a place where reverence and restraint elevate each movement to an artful pause.
