Chef Taijyu Ohbuchi
An exclusive, heartfelt celebration
for one group per day
Private Restaurant
Concept / A One-Group-Per-Day Exclusive Restaurant"
My commitment to serving only one group per day
goes beyond offering exceptional cuisine;
it’s about creating an intimate, personal experience.
With training in Japan and abroad,
I’ve developed a refined culinary approach rooted in respect for Japanese traditions.
I focus on elevating both the quality of each dish
and the personal connection with each guest,
shaping a thoughtful and memorable experience.
By hosting just one group daily,
we can engage fully,
bringing these values to life in every dish.

"Our restaurant is located within a shared kitchen space, offering a modest yet welcoming environment.
It feels as though you've been invited into the chef’s own home—an intimate setting where you can enjoy refined cuisine while engaging in close conversation with the chef.
Whether for an anniversary, birthday, a celebration with friends, or simply to share time with loved ones, we invite you to relax and savor this unique experience together."
"Three Core Principles in Our Cuisine"
Respect
"Mindfulness of Ingredients"
We source ingredients directly: meats from farmers, seafood from the port,
and produce from local farms,
sometimes foraging wild herbs ourselves.
With respect for local Japanese ingredients,
we work mindfully with each season’s finest.
Originality
"Modern Japanese Fusion"
We offer an exceptional Omakase course that blends the essence of Japanese food culture with French techniques and Nordic influences,
creating a truly original dining experience.
Freshly baked Focaccia
"We time the dough fermentation
and baking to match your arrival,
ensuring freshly baked bread.
Enjoy your meal with warm, oven-fresh bread."
For kid's
We warmly welcome expectant mothers
and guests with children.
Strollers are welcome,
and we can accommodate seating arrangements for your convenience during the meal.
If desired, we can also prepare
a special one-plate meal for children.
Please feel free to mention any requests when making your reservation.

we offer wine and non-alcoholic pairings.
