"“Tsuru to Kame” is a Japanese Kappo-style restaurant located on Ginza Namiki-dori, operated entirely by a female team. The owner, who has been running multiple Japanese restaurants since the beginning of the Heisei era, always dreamed of establishing a female-staffed restaurant in the male-dominated world of Japanese cuisine. As the business grew, he saw that the female staff had matured and were ready to open a restaurant, making his long-cherished dream come true. Currently, second-generation head chef Atsumi Saito leads the all-female kitchen and service team. The restaurant features traditional interiors, with a ceiling woven from thin slices of wood (ajiro) and walls plastered with soil (kyokabe) typical of top Japanese restaurants." - Kyoko Nakayama
