Like a phoenix, the country's oldest Japanese restaurant has been reborn as an izakaya. The new concept revolves around shared plates, but according to the same winning recipe: top-quality ingredients sublimated by chef Akira Yasuoka. Whether in the form of sashimi or negitoro, the red tuna melts in the mouth, fired up by exceptional Japanese condiments, without ever overwhelming the tastebuds. Delicious chicken yakitoris seasoned with salt and yuzu pepper are an ode to simplicity. A fine selection of nihunshu puts the final touch to this resolutely contemporary comeback.
