The Experience
From Michelin Guide
‘Tradition and innovation always travel together’ is the credo of the Imperial Hotel. ‘Growth and happiness for the future’ is the motto of the Ishikawa Group. Together the partners founded Torakuro, whose cuisine is guided by both convictions. French techniques such as consommé and confit are overlaid with Japanese traditions like dashi soup stock and char-grilling. One of the Imperial Hotel’s founders, Eiichi Shibusawa, once said, ‘Serve the customer courteously and you create a memory for a lifetime’. Here, that spirit is taken to heart.
