Japanese
Sesame tofu and mackerel sushi that customers refused to let off the menu frame what kind of Japanese restaurant this is: quietly meticulous, with nothing to prove. The chef obsesses over things you'll never see, different dashi stocks for the omelette and its sauce, knife cuts tailored to each vegetable in a simmered plate. The food looks composed and unhurried, which is exactly the point.
