GUUUT
GUUUT places Thai cooking and wine-bar discipline inside a small kominka restaurant in Minowa, Nagano, with a fish-led kitchen and a six-seat scale that changes the rhythm of dinner. Its Tabelog 100 selection for Asian and ethnic cuisine in East Japan in 2023 and 2024 puts it in a serious regional conversation rather than a novelty category.
