Having achieved the prestigious rank of 3 Michelin stars faster than any restaurant in the world, HAJIME presents a dining experience defined by extraordinary precision and detail—where each dish is crafted with technology that measures down to the millimeter and a tenth of a degree Celsius.
At the heart of HAJIME is Chef Hajime Yoneda, whose mission is to “create the ultimate emotion in the world.” Grounded in gastronomy, his culinary creations transcend taste alone, exploring profound themes in biology, neuroscience, architecture, and astronomy. 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.
Discover the pinnacle of innovative Japanese cuisine at HAJIME, and experience the world through the lens of Chef Hajime Yoneda’s visionary artistry.
