The chef works behind the counter in a white smock and wooden clogs, a setup that feels lifted from mid-century Kyoto and shows no sign of apologizing for it. This is a kappo counter, intimate and unhurried, where the menu draws from recipes the chef inherited from his father alongside dishes tied to seasonal celebrations. He pulls ideas from old culinary literature, too, cooking in a way that treats history as a living thing rather than a museum piece. It holds a Michelin star.
