‘Jikon’ in the restaurant’s name means ‘live with all your heart in this moment’. Dutifully listing the carefully selected ingredients in the menu, the house focuses with single-minded devotion on preparation. The proprietor starts by presenting a selection of seasonal recommendations. After sampling the flavours of the season, guests order items they fancy. The restaurant’s style is to stay grounded in the basics while demonstrating creativity through combinations of ingredients, as exampled by fruits dressed with white sesame seeds, tofu and miso. The menu forms a bond between chef and guest.
