His iconic dish, “Chikyu (Planet Earth),” is a tribute to nature and Mother Earth—a poetic reflection on the fragility and beauty of life itself.
The restaurant’s interior embodies a quiet elegance, reminiscent of a contemporary art museum. Within this serene space, each plate becomes both a visual and sensory masterpiece—designed to stir not only the palate but also the spirit.
