Big, vibrant yakiniku. The beef is from Iwate and kept longer than usual, up to 40+ months. The cattle comes originally from Kobe but was raised in Iwate.
Sometimes the condiments are too salty but the beef is great.

New Kushi-age (Fried Skewer) paired with Creative cuisine restaurant. Ayumu Sato, the Chef/Owner from Comptoir Feu is also involved which is not surprising.
You get 13 skewers, 3 bowls and 1 somen. With the exceptions of the somen, no dish was straight forward. There is always a topping, in addition there is a choice of 6 different sauces which one... More

You get 13 skewers, 3 bowls and 1 somen. With the exceptions of the somen, no dish was straight forward. There is always a topping, in addition there is a choice of 6 different sauces which one can use to further change or enhance the flavor.
All of them were very tasty, one or two were in my view ill calibrated in the sense of the main ingredient being over powered by the topping. Still delicious but that is not the point.
To offset the oil, they serve coleslaw which enhance by olive oil to create a very smooth and deep flavor.
The have a quite a wine selection and very nice glasses.
Interesting twist on a traditional Japanese food. Less

Return visit, aways pleasurable.
Great combination of Japanese ingredients with French concept and techniques. Very flavorful and perfectly executed.
The Front Office is polyglot, super professional and warm.
The wine list not long but hides some gems and very good prices.

New Chef, some quality, great food, interesting sequencing. The second plate was a deer from Hokkaido which made us think where is he going to go from there. But it worked as it is more like a yo-yo than a progression.
A lot of open fire grilling.
