Came here for lunch with a reservation. The course was themed around vegetables, and the menu has nine dishes including the amuse bouche and petits fours. The amuse bouche has some nice mix of contrasting textures; mushroom broth with houjicha has a tasty umami flavor and the chestnut cream soup was hearty. The salad with fresh mozzarella cheese has a few drips of aged balsamic vinegar which was very viscous and intense, pretty good salad. The ratatouille dish was a deconstructed ravioli with a slightly seared fish fillet and the main was a deboned lamb cutlet paired with pumpkin gnocchi with cheese cream, both were tasty. Dessert started with a small scoop of rice puff flavored ice cream followed by a more substantial fig dessert with a red wine sauce which I enjoyed. Finally the freshly baked financiers were the highlight of the petits fours. Overall it was a satisfying meal and the service was good, depending on who is serving, some dishes were explained in Japanese but you can always ask another staff if you want to know more about a dish.

Honestly one of the most amazing meals I have had in Tokyo. Every course was a surprise and a treat, the pace of the courses was perfect and the portions of food were really generous. The staff were amazing, super attentive and tried their best to give the descriptions of the food in English. The thoughtfulness of souvenir chopsticks was such a nice touch and the amenities in the bathroom were useful - with toothbrushes and mouth rinse handy. My favourite dishes would be the wagyu and also all the desserts were just to die for

This French restaurant, with the concept of "showing respect to the producers who grow the ingredients," is undoubtedly one of the top five in Japan in my opinion. Not only is the dishes beautiful, but the taste is also exceptionally exquisite. The owner's wife, who looks stunning in traditional Japanese attire,"kimono".  They bring you alcohol that pairs perfectly with the dishes. It's a fantastic establishment where you can glimpse the owner chef's love for cooking. While it may be high-end, it's unquestionably worth coming. I'm grateful to have encountered such an exceptional restaurant.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here—it was easily among the best meals we’ve had anywhere in the world. The Wagyu was a standout, cooked to perfection; take your time savoring each bite to truly appreciate it. Other highlights included the flavorful focaccia, the rich mushroom soup, the unique white chocolate savory rolls, and the most incredible pistachio ice cream I’ve ever tasted.
