The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Den is a messenger of Japanese cuisine today, both in Japan and around the world. The goal is cooking that brings smiles to everyone’s faces, no matter where in the world they’re from. A salad called ‘Hatake no Yosu’ is the next evolution in takiawase, each vegetable cooked in a different way. A carrot medallion, carved like a smiley emoji, evokes a chuckle. Friendly service makes diners feel at home and food taste even better – no wonder the walls and pillars are festooned with autographs of appreciative visitors.
