His signature dish, "Chikyu", planet earth consists of almost 100 vegetables and gets served in a massive two colored plate so the two diners sitting across the table can share the dish.
The wine list contains a significant number of Japanese wines, one of which we trank, a decent Merlot from the Tusgane.
A wonderful experience and well deserved three stars.
