Fine dining
The opening course arrives as a sculptural hillock of moss and wildflowers with raw fish and farm produce nestled inside it, which tells you almost everything about what follows. This is a three-Michelin-star kaiseki-influenced tasting menu in Sonoma wine country, built around a 24-acre farm run by the chef's wife. Japan meets Northern California across ten courses, with the kitchen's donabe work a quiet obsession. It holds a Forbes Five Star and a spot on the World's 50 Best list.
