Gion Owatari
Japanese
White rice cooked over an old clay hearth sets the rhythm at this one-Michelin-star counter kappo in the heart of Gion. The chef runs the room like a genial host, keeping the banter going while portioning out lobster, crab, matsutake, and blowfish with a generosity that feels almost pointed. A second serving of rice topped with raw egg is the kind of quiet flourish that regulars quietly look forward to.
