虎峰 (Koho) is a modern Chinese restaurant in Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, built on Chinese cuisine infused with Japanese and traditional techniques from across China, fully reservation-based and served as multi-course menus of many small plates [1] [2]. The 'tiger' (ko) in the name means a person of outstanding talent and 'peak' (ho) the summit — an aspiration to cultivate talent and climb to the highest peak [1]. The restaurant is operated by subLime Co., Ltd. under the GYRO HOLDINGS group, and is a sister restaurant of the MICHELIN one-star 'Series' [2] [1].
History
Koho was originally at PAL Building 1F, 3-8-7 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo [2], and moved to 1F, 3-14-16 Roppongi (3 minutes' walk from Exit 5 of Roppongi Station on the Toei Oedo Line) on 28 May 2026 [1].
Kitchen
On 1 March 2024, Ryo Nishigomi became head chef and Yuki Kaneko executive chef [2]; in the 2026 announcement Kaneko remains executive chef, also overseeing 'Series' and 'Series the Sky' [1]. Executive chef Yuki Kaneko graduated from Tsuji Culinary Institute in Osaka, trained in Chinese fundamentals at 'Heichinrou', Japan's oldest Chinese restaurant, learned cutting-edge technique at 'SENSE', a one-star restaurant at Mandarin Oriental Tokyo, and his 'Series' earned a MICHELIN star within eight months of opening, held for six consecutive years [1]. The restaurant also offers wine pairings led by a chef-qualified sommelier and a tea pairing centred on Chinese teas [1].
