The Experience
From Michelin Guide
The lacquerware counter surrounds the owner-chef. Proudly displaying both foodstuffs and technique, he regales his guests with his feelings about the people and regions that produced his ingredients. In gratitude to his native Awajishima, he naturally sources his foods from there. Onions shipped straight from the farm are used in savoury egg custard. Wagyu from cattle raised by a friend is grilled over charcoal. The meal concludes with takikomi-gohan and curry of dashi soup stock and spiny lobster.
