Dinner at Restaurant NéMo

on 19 Dec 2021

Chef Nemoto used to cook at Narisawa, Quintessence and also in Paris. He uses Japanese ingredients, but applies his French techniques. The result is a very balanced, sensitive cuisines, finely calibrated layers of flavors, all perfectly executed. One of the stand out dished was the Conger eel topped with macadamia nuts. Incredible texture and flavor.
Another one was the second dessert, a tomato with ice cream. The savory tomato had a soft consistent texture which I have never encountered before.... More

An excellent addition to the French Japanese dining scene in Tokyo.
