The dishes are made using about 30 different types of vegetables, which are said to be grown right in the field in front of the restaurant.Experiencing a meal while looking at the source of the ingredients is quite rare, and it really emphasizes the closeness to the produce.There are pairing options available, allowing you to choose from alcoholic, non-alcoholic, or mixed beverages. You can enjoy the combinations with your meal while relaxing in a comfortable atmosphere.The architecture also reflects a strong commitment to design, with a space created by Shigeru Ban featuring a wall of grapevines that is very impressive. It’s said that in summer, the grapes spread across the area, making it a particularly recommended time to visit.The dishes are served in custom-made pottery, showcasing a meticulous attention to detail in the overall aesthetic.The garden is also open for exploration, so if you have the time, I highly recommend taking a stroll.The chef is originally from Mexico, and you can really feel the essence of Mexican cuisine in the dishes. Additionally, the menu is decided on the day based on the condition of the vegetables, so it changes every morning. The staff member explaining the dishes is also well-informed about that day’s offerings, which speaks to the overall passion and high quality of the restaurant.Moreover, the knives are made by Takamura Hamono, a place famous for the knives used by Takuya Kimura in "Grand Maison Tokyo." These knives are now in such high demand that they can only be purchased after a long wait.It was a truly special experience.
