The dishes are delicately crafted, making them easy for Japanese diners to enjoy. Yet, they still retain the essence of Chinese cuisine through the use of spices, oils, and fermented seasonings. Instead of overpowering the ingredients, the flavors are layered to enhance their profiles. Each plate offers a unique expression, and everything is genuinely delicious from the start.None of the dishes are overly assertive, yet they leave a lasting impression. The way the aromas are constructed is particularly impressive, lingering even after the meal is finished.This time, I also requested pairings. It was interesting to enjoy different types of wine, Japanese sake, and Shaoxing wine that complemented the dishes. At the end of the course, depending on how full you are, you can also request dishes like Mapo Tofu or Fried Rice. Even when nearing fullness, I couldn't resist the Mapo Tofu. It’s not just about the numbing spiciness; it has a deep umami that pulls you back into the heart of Chinese flavors.Not only the food but also the timing of the service and the explanations, all while observing our reactions, made for a pleasant experience. From the first dish to the last, I thoroughly enjoyed it.This is a place I want to visit during the changing of the seasons.It was a great meal!
