The service was excellent, and the restaurant was very accommodating of my girlfriend’s vegan dietary needs, which we really appreciated. The first three courses were fantastic, with some dishes being finished or prepared right at the table, adding an interactive and enjoyable touch. However, the remaining courses were unfortunately underwhelming. While there are many things the restaurant does well—especially the attentive service and creativity in the opening courses—for a 3 Michelin star restaurant, we had hoped for a higher level of consistency throughout the entire meal.
The sustainable commitment is unique! Big respect for their land, sea, local farms and Japanese ingredients! However foodwise for my pint of view miss the mark… for a 3 Michelin stars i was really expecting a lot! So i ended up a little unsatisfied. I was really looking for a very delicious food, but i couldn’t find it. However. Amazing work achieving a green star. Definitely deserve it.
This was truly a special experience in a beautiful setting.. We had dinner in the private room with the sommelier orchestrating our experience. The meal was unique and spectacular. Undoubtedly, will make every diner a turnip lover, and lover of all vegetables. The duck was divine. The potato focaccia was delicious. We splurged further on the upgraded pairings, and did not regret one of the many yen spent on this once-in-a-lifetime dining extravaganza.
I’m always on the hunt for everything from Michelin-starred gems to hidden hole-in-the-wall spots, and this dinner easily ranks in my top 10 meals of all time. The dishes blends classic French techniques with Japanese flavors, resulting in a light yet flavorful meal that never feels as heavy as traditional French cuisine. The progression of the courses was great and there was no let down dish. The staff was attentive and courteous but also delightfully engaging, making us feel truly welcomed with casual conversation throughout the night. Highly recommend!
