Family Recipe

Editorial Review

Haute meets homey at this Japanese jewel box. Tokyo-born chef uses technique and tastes of home as starting point for her creative flights. Market-driven menus lead to buns stuffed with pork belly and poached pear, sake-steamed mussels with nori butter, signature slow-cooked short ribs in a cast iron pot. Family affair draws on husband’s Swiss background for chocolate cake recipe (served with sake ice cream, of course). Intimate space ensures kitchen retains the soul of home cooking.
