Shizuoka in Japan offers a diverse and abundant food supply. Known for its green tea, wasabi, eel, and fruits, the region benefits from a favorable climate and coastal location. With fresh seafood, traditional dishes, and a rich culinary culture, Shizuoka showcases its natural resources and culinary heritage.
There's a close-knit community of restaurants, merchants, and local suppliers in Shizuoka, contributing to its exceptional restaurant scene. Chef Fujioka is a dedicated young chef who prioritizes sourcing the best regional ingredients and treating them with care. His refined techniques continuously strive for improvement. Highlights from our meal included delicious dishes like Barracuda and flat clam, surpassing even scallops in taste. Watching him shave katsuobushi and experiencing the umami explosion was excellent. The sashimi course, featuring freshly caught tuna, was particularly fascinating—unaged, dense texture, and incredible flavor. It was a fantastic meat-free meal crafted by a passionate chef dedicated to giving his very best every time.
