Restaurant Details

Since opening in 2012, this kaiseki restaurant has stayed committed to the principles of traditional cha-kaiseki, the style of cuisine developed alongside the Japanese tea ceremony.

Rather than pursuing modern reinterpretations or elaborate presentation, the restaurant centers on balance, seasonality, and careful craftsmanship. Every course reflects an approach shaped by consistency and restraint.

Drawing on the chef's classical cha-kaiseki training, the restaurant has stayed true to traditional techniques since opening in 2012. That approach continues to shape every seasonal menu.

The chef is involved in every stage of preparation, from sourcing ingredients each morning to finishing every dish. By overseeing the entire process, the chef creates a menu where each course feels connected and balanced from start to finish.

The restaurant's approach is perhaps best seen in its dashi, the foundation of its clear soups. The chef shaves premium katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) by hand just before preparing the broth, bringing out its fresh aroma and gentle umami without overshadowing the seasonal ingredients.

Rooted in the traditions of kaiseki, each seasonal menu combines classical techniques with careful seasoning. From the dashi to the flow of the meal, every detail reflects the principles of cha-kaiseki.

The restaurant maintains the same sense of balance in its hospitality as it does in its cooking. Calm, attentive service allows the meal to unfold at a natural pace, keeping the focus on the food and the chef's careful craftsmanship.

From the start, the restaurant has stayed true to the traditions of cha-kaiseki. Every seasonal menu reflects the classical techniques and thoughtful approach that continue to define its cooking.
