【2026 Bronze】【2025 Top 100 Restaurants】67/100Unusually for the Ishikawa Group, this is the only Western-style restaurant located outside of Kagurazaka, situated in Nanpeidai. I made a reservation for the omakase lunch course on the first day of May, which is quite affordable; my visit to "jinen." was rated 4.03.After about a 15-minute walk from Shibuya Station in heavy rain, I finally arrived. It’s surprising to find such a quiet place in Shibuya.◾️ Lunch Special Course: JPY 12,100 + Hildon, Sparkling, Wine: JPY 28,700◆ Eric Rodez CHAMPAGNE AMBONNAY Cuvee des Crayeres◇ Bamboo shoots and sweet sea bream with a hint of cherry leaves and prosciutto espuma ○◇ Grilled surf clam with tomato and foie gras sauce ○◆ CHÂTEAU PUYANCHE 2023◇ Tantanmen-style hazelnut soup with sakura shrimp and Aomori flower pepper, topped with garlic oil and chili oil ○◇ Two-hour cooked cauliflower meunière with a simple cream sauce ○ Followed by the addition of risotto ◎◇ Danish (Yellow) from the nearby GREEN THUMB◆ Chambolle-Musigny Domaine Henri Gros - Les Maladières 2022◇ Bordeaux white asparagus with venison and caramel ◎◇ Curry ramen topped with stir-fried vegetables in the style of Genghis Khan (large size) ◎ Followed by the addition of rice and soup ○◇ Limoncello sorbet◆ Coffee◇ Tochiai Strawberry Mille-FeuilleChef Masayuki Kato, originally from Hokkaido, trained at "Restaurant Molière" and then at Denmark's "noma." After returning to Japan, he was involved in the launch of the now-closed "INUA" as a chef de partie. I finally got to visit "jinen." which has been operating in this location since 2021. The dishes continue with ingredients that seem to extend the line of Japanese cuisine, questioning whether this is truly French. As the chef says, if it’s delicious, it doesn’t matter what the genre or ingredients are; there are even two ramen-like dishes served, and it’s delightful to pour leftover sauce over rice. The individual dishes are surprisingly affordable, but with water, champagne, and two glasses of wine, the total came to JPY 16,600! If you’re going for lunch, it might be wise to pretend you’re not drinking alcohol. (^^;
