Restaurant in Tokyo

While the lightly battered and perfectly fried tempura were the main cast, Chef Masahiko has also assembled a menu that was perfectly balanced with delicious light starters that showcased the seasonal ingredients in Japan (some are native only to Japan) and the most refreshing dessert to end the night.
