Modern British-Japanese fusion and named signatures

Modern British-Japanese fusion frames dishes such as smoked eel with white chocolate and caviar, Hokkaido milk bread with taramasalata, and lamb prepared multiple ways. The restaurant suits dinner and breakfast plans.

Sommelier-led, local sourcing, mountain outlook

A sommelier-led programme sits alongside local sourcing and farm-to-table sourcing. Mountain views, conversational noise, smart casual dress, and extended pacing make the format better suited to a planned meal than a short stop.
