Shokuzen Abe
Kyoto
A charcoal brazier and a wood-fuelled stove in a Ginza kitchen set the mood at this intimate Japanese restaurant, where a Michelin-starred chef channels Kyoto kaiseki with quiet intensity. The rice alone is a study in timing, served from clay pots anywhere from barely-cooked to scorched, the flavour shifting by the minute. Kyoto vegetables, white miso dashi, shojin ryori roots: the menu reads like a letter home to a city the chef never quite left.
