Not wanting to be confined to a single concept, the chef honed his craft by studying Japanese, Western and Chinese cuisines. The menu, which champions a playfully hearty approach, avoids classification by genre. Dishes range from original creations pairing dried mullet roe and rice vermicelli to familiar favourites such as pasta and mapo tofu. Preparing kombu dashi and blending spices, he follows his own inspirations in pursuit of flavour. Generous portions leave a lasting impression.
