Our ingredients are not just sourced, they are nurtured through chef Yamada's enduring relationships with local fishermen, butchers, farmers, and artisans — partnerships steeped in trust with a shared commitment to quality. Each element of our seasonal tasting menu is meticulously curated and crafted to create a balanced and harmonious journey of the senses; an artful progression of flavor, texture, and technique that offers a deeper narrative of heritage and respect. The experience concludes with a customary tea ceremony, nodding to the origins of kaiseki in 16th century Japan.
