The founder of Sushi Yoshino was once an apprentice at a well-known sushi restaurant in Tokyo’s Kyobashi district. When he became independent, he inherited the shop name, and now his heir and son have hung out their shingle together. Sushi toppings prepared in the old-school way are paired with sushi rice made with red vinegar. The shop captivates with the spirit of a true sushi restaurant. Lighting is used effectively in view of the basement location and the long counter of zelkova wood is a striking feature. Enjoy craftsmanship in both the sushi and the décor.

‘The look surprises, the taste reassures.’ The chef’s passion for creativity makes his culinary spirit unique. Decoratively arranged sashimi are briefly heated to draw out moisture. The chef doesn’t serve soup dishes, as much of his cooking tailors the dashi stock to each dish. His freewheeling personality makes the evening fun, while the folk-art vibe of the interior, including a chest of drawers inherited from the chef’s grandparents, fills the air with memories and the warmth of family.

The name ‘sanka’ refers to three aromas — a trinity of ingredients, sauce and wine. Classical foundations are revisited and reinterpreted through original ideas. A signature dish showcases several varieties of potato, prepared using a range of techniques, sauces and powders to draw out their deep, earthy character. In the spirit of ‘onko-chishin’, the restaurant seeks to evolve French cuisine by learning from the past.

Enjoy pairings of local cooking with organic wines. The prix fixe opens with onion tart. Vegetable soup fragrant with basil brings memories of their apprenticeship in the south of France. Seeking warm, simple flavours, the chefs rely on time-honoured cooking utensils and techniques. Wearing aprons over everyday clothes, they chat casually with guests. An atmosphere that wants diners to enjoy French cuisine casually.

Sushi got its start as hawker food that flourished in Edo (old Tokyo). To impart a feeling for that culture, Tachiguisushi Sushikawa is a standup sushi bar (and is what the name means). No drinking snacks; this is nigiri only, which you can order piece by piece according to your taste. Sushi toppings display an old-school craftsmanship. The chef harbours doubts about the recent trend of taking sushi up-market, which is why he recreated the atmosphere of a real-deal, no-nonsense sushi joint. A sushi local where regulars come to chat with the chef.

A Thai restaurant that showcases the cuisine of the ancient city of Chiang Mai and the Isaan region in northeastern Thailand. The menu includes a salad of pounded green papaya, fermented pork sausages, and a soup of stewed beef and herbs. The local style is to eat these with sticky rice steamed in a bamboo basket. The sour and spicy flavours of fermented seasonings, along with the aromas of citrus and fresh herbs, evoke a Thai dinner table.

Chef Shinsuke Ishii brings the passion of the producers to your table with his unique recipes. Using underutilised fish species and local ingredients, he passionately conveys human connections. The fish wrapped in pie pastry, resembling taiyaki, hides a playful twist within its sophistication. The chef personally serves his creations, and the whole team unites to engage with guests. The dining experience is filled with energy and a sense of togetherness.
