The Michelin Guide's review
Makoto Fujiwara colours within the lines of Japanese fare while moving with the changing times. Soup dishes and sashimi, for example, are an inherited tradition, but other items borrow a page or two from encounters with French cuisine. Spiny lobster is glazed with egg-yolk sauce; beef sukiyaki is enhanced with black truffles. Like Gion-minami, Kyoto’s geiko quarter, the old is interlaced with the new. Wine pairings denote a modern sensibility.
