La Brianza

There are plenty of parallels which can be drawn between Japan and Italy — two volcanic lands of dramatic mountains, stunning coastlines, and delicious food. Celebrating these similarities is key to the philosophy behind La Brianza — a restaurant which is leading the charge in the evolution of the Tokyo Italian food scene. Owner Yoshi Okuno gained experience at no less than 8 Michelin-starred restaurants across Italy. After opening four restaurants in Japan he is now a leading authority on the cuisine in Asia, acting as a consultant for many restaurants across the region. His restaurant in Roppongi specializes in dishes from the Piedmont and Liguria regions, such as ruffle gratin, as well as many south Italian dishes, and classics such as pasta and pizza prepared in a traditional kiln-style oven. Set course and a la carte options are available, and the price point can only be called astounding. Few places can beat La Brianza in terms of sheer value, which is why customers keep coming back again and again.
