Owner-chef Yuji Kobayashi has a passion for the works of Seika Suda, a Kutani porcelain potter. Kobayashi, who began collecting pottery as a teenager, pairs each dish with just the right vessel to accentuate the flavour. To bring the flavour of each ingredient, seasoning is restrained, consisting of salt and the umami of dashi. Kobayashi’s charcoal grilling technique brings forth a smoky aroma. Items are plated without unnecessary artifice, enhancing the ingredients’ bold presentation.
