About

Modern French with izakaya roots

Modern French frames the cooking, while izakaya and French define the primary cuisine pairing. Local sourcing and Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025 place it in a concise culinary lane.

Chef’s counter, formal service, leisurely pacing

Chef’s counter seating, formal service, leisurely pacing, and conversational noise suit lunch or dinner plans where counter focus and table talk both matter.
