Kitchen
Chef Hiroyasu Kawate was born in Tokyo in 1978, trained at Le Bourguignon in Nishi-azabu and Jardin des Sens in Montpellier, France, and worked as sous-chef at Quintessence in Shirokanedai before opening his own restaurant[1][3]. From the 2023 relocation, the menu turned toward a plant-based direction[3]. Kawate says that with the environment in mind, meat and fish are used thoughtfully and in moderation, and irregularly shaped vegetables are purchased from farmers and given new value through refined French technique[2]. It ranked No. 36 in The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 and No. 31 in Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2026[1].
