A French restaurant located just a short walk from Edobashi in Nihonbashi Kabutocho.Since it's not a place you can casually visit, I took the opportunity to come here for a special occasion.Upon entering through the impressively tall door, you are greeted by a chic and elegant interior dominated by silver tones.As for the dishes, each plate is meticulously crafted, from the arrangement of ingredients to the presentation of sauces, showcasing overwhelming beauty that feels more like viewing a work of art than simply enjoying a meal.The main dish, the veal, was particularly delightful—rich in flavor, tender, and with a well-defined profile that brought pure bliss. The dessert was visually appealing and had a refreshing taste that complemented the course without overshadowing it. I felt pleasantly full, and I only sampled a few of the mini desserts.The service was exceptional, with the staff providing dishes and explanations in a smooth, flowing manner. Although it’s a Michelin two-star restaurant, the atmosphere created by the staff made it very comfortable.With high standards in cuisine, ambiance, and service, I was able to enjoy a special day here, and my companions were equally pleased. This is a place I would love to revisit for another celebration. Less

I visited for the second time after a two-month gap, squeezing in on the same day. Since it was my second visit, I felt relaxed and enjoyed sitting right in front of the chef.As always, the first appetizer, simmered Kinki fish, was exceptional with its sweet sauce perfectly complementing the dish. The sushi overall had a wonderful harmony between the rice and the toppings, with the rice melting in my mouth and releasing sweetness as I chewed. The perfectly deboned sardine was particularly impressive, dissolving in my mouth without any resistance, setting it apart from others.I also ordered some shirasu (whitebait) and Hokkigai (surf clam) small pieces, and the small pieces were large, crunchy, and had a strong sweetness, making them delicious.This time, I was able to chat quite a bit with the chef due to my seating position, which made for a great experience, and I definitely want to come back. Next time, I will make sure to make a reservation. Less
