Kawaba, Japan
VENTINOVE
VENTINOVE places regional Italian cooking in rural Gunma rather than a metropolitan dining district, which changes the read of the meal: wood fire, wine and sake sit against Kawaba’s agricultural setting. The restaurant carries Tabelog Award 2026 Bronze recognition and a 2025 Tabelog 100 Italian EAST selection, placing it in Japan’s serious Italian conversation without the usual Tokyo framing.
