Hiraishi Tempura

"When the chef made the switch from general Japanese cuisine to tempura, he set to work refining his own style. To impart flavour to the batter, he fries it in sesame oil at high heat. Vegetables are lightly battered to bring texture; conger eel is fried in thick batter to enhance fragrance. Items are served with salt and dipping sauce and, in an unusual twist, accompanied by truffle salt. Tempura of simmered chestnuts with their inner skins on is a unique touch that attests to the chef’s experience." - Michelin Inspector

Ryoriya Inaya

"Hiroki Inaya is the son of a Japanese cuisine chef. He followed in his father’s footsteps out of awe for the magnificent sashimi and funamori (sashimi arranged on a model boat) he fashioned. He stays within the bounds of Japanese cuisine but never forgets to add a playfulness of spirit, delighting customers with crab spawn rolled into balls to resemble crab foam, for example. Two earthenware pots draw the eye: one contains white rice served at the perfect point, the other takikomi gohan, rice cooked and seasoned with a variety of ingredients in season." - Michelin Inspector
