Nebuka

Chef Toyoda has always exhibited a strong inclination towards deep relationships. This is clear from his wine bar, an introduction-only venue that has informed the techniques and flavors of Nebuka, a recent Michelin selection. Nebuka takes its name from the belief that vines with deep roots yield the finest grapes — thus, in Japanese, "Ne" means roots, while "Buka" signifies depth. Trained in both French and Japanese cuisine, Chef Toyoda brings the forest flavors of France to an authentically Japanese omakase setting. He upholds the Japanese art of cooking seasonally relevant menus by sourcing the freshest vegetables and game meat from his personal contacts. With a rustic, woodsy take, dishes are still kept elegant, making use of elements from both dining styles. Located in Roppongi, Nebuka is surrounded by highrises and bustling life. Inside its walls, a team of young professionals serves elevated cuisine without stuffiness or stiff classicism. Instead, the freshness of the ingredients makes its way to guests through each human interaction. After 9 pm, Nebuka opens its doors to a-la-carte orders, inviting its guests to bring their own personalities to the table. Michelin Guide accolades: 2024 - Michelin Selected
