Cenci – Kyoto
Cenci’s ten-course tasting menu reads like an invitation to explore. Fermented vegetables, artisanal cheeses and hams, and a plethora of unusual plants, grains, fruits, fish, and meats flow from the kitchen.
Fugu Club – Tokyo
Fugu is famously dangerous. Most parts of the fish contain tetrodotoxin (TTX), a potent neurotoxin that can cause paralysis and respiratory failure. Internal organs are especially lethal. Even the skin is toxic, but less so, while the flesh is safe to eat.
Ryuzu – Tokyo
Chef Ryuta has earned high praise for his cuisine where Japanese seasonality and ingredients meet French technique at Restaurant Ryuzu.
Sake Pork Belly
Sake Pork Belly is braised with sake and soy, brown sugar and Chinese spices until the tender meat is coated in a caramelized sauce.
Wagyu Ushitomi Ginza
Wagyu Ushitomi Ginza is an intimate, 8 seat “Meat Kappo” where the spotlight shines on masterful preparation of premium wagyu.
