A counter kappo that suggests a new age in dining. The modern interior imparts a contemporary feel, a nice counterpoint to the reassuring orthodoxy of the cuisine. Use of serving vessels created by young potters springs from a conviction that artists should nurture each other’s growth. ‘SATOWA’ comes from a Sanskrit word with a range of meanings; the name here is spelled in characters that mean ‘hometown harmony’, reflecting the chef’s desire to have his customers feel the desire to return to the harmony (wa) of their own home.
