The restaurant provides an exclusive and intimate dining atmosphere, focusing on the omakase (chef's choice) experience. The small number of seats ensures a personalized interaction with the chef.
Due to its very limited seating (8-9 seats) and high demand as a two-Michelin-starred establishment, reservations are essential and should be made well in advance. Dinner is the primary meal service.
