Determined to create food that leaves a lasting impression, the chef selects ingredients with an exacting eye, then lets his imagination run wild. Combinations of Western and Japanese flavours are unique: caviar with sea urchin, for example, or bonito dashi soup stock with consommé. Behind each selection of meat lies a tale of producers: mutton is from Hokkaido; duck from Kyoto. The restaurant name means ‘memories’ and the chef’s goal is to recall happy memories of chatting contently around a dinner table.
