Tokyo, Japan
From Michelin Guide
Chef Kaoru Aihara weaves culinary creations with hints of the sea, drawn from his experiences in the Shonan region of Kanagawa Prefecture and the Brittany region of France. Seafood charcuterie substitutes mackerel for ham and sardine for fromage de tĂȘte. Depending on the fish, ingredients may be aged for weeks to bring out their flavour. From the seaweed sauce wafts the briny tang of the sea.
From Visitor Experiences
The signature "Box Smoked Salmon" is smoked in a wooden box, a method rarely seen in Tokyo fine dining, imparting a distinct, aromatic flavor profile to the fish.
The menu features a "Scallop and Seaweed Quiche," an unconventional pairing that reimagines classic French quiche with Japanese seafood and nori, creating a visually striking and flavor-forward dish.
With only 18 seats and an open kitchen, guests witness Chef Kaoru Aiharaâs meticulous, hands-on preparationâemphasizing both technique and the chefâs calm, unpretentious presence, a contrast to the often theatrical Michelin-starred dining scene.
