The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Perched on the hotel’s top floor, the dining room affords stunning views of the city below. The modern kitchen, visible through a curtain-glass wall, is full of motion. Chef Guillaume Bracaval creates contemporary French expressions inspired by Japanese ingredients and culture. The map of Japan indicating where the various ingredients come from proclaims the bounty of Japan’s landscape. Desserts are a gorgeous flourish of contemporary art.
