Tokyo, Japan
From Michelin Guide
With âOld Sichuanâ as its guiding principle, the restaurant reinterprets and refines the flavours of Sichuanâs past. Each course draws inspiration from Chinese history and its notable figures. Dish names are written in two kanji characters, inviting guests to imagine their flavours. âFurongâ takes its cue from the hibiscus, the official flower of Chengdu, while âGuifeiâ incorporates the wine favoured by the famed Tang-era beauty Yang Guifei. The chefâs passion is thoughtfully conveyed through the managerâs explanations.
