"Helping his mother with the cooking as a little boy was the chef’s gateway into the world of Japanese cuisine. He learned the craft at a hotel, where he was entrusted with tempura; later he went independent, fulfilling his dream. The sign was written by his mother, a calligraphy instructor. The chef’s aim is to serve tempura so light, you wouldn’t know it’s deep-fried. Pieces are lightly coated and aromatic when fried. Points of pride include tempura using sea urchin and nori, as well as wagyu beef fillet wrapped in beefsteak leaf." - Michelin Inspector
