The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Floor-to-ceiling windows let in natural light and allow expansive views, while designer furniture and artisan tableware exude style. Only a kappo-style set menu is offered and the courses feature the best ingredients in season. The chef’s favourite Omi Wagyu katsu with black truffle and egg confit was inspired by sukiyaki and its flavours are in perfect harmony. The dinner set menu also includes an array of sake distributed by the restaurant itself.
