MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
One Star: High quality cooking
Recalling the pride French chefs express in their country’s regions, Shohei Mori opened a restaurant in his hometown. The stars of his gustatory show are vegetables, both farmed and wild, river fish, game, and more of the bounty of Ohara. The shop’s name means ‘firewood’, and ingredients here are wreathed in primordial flame. By showcasing the appeal of the region through cooking, Mori repays a debt to the land where he was born and raised.
Gastronomy & Sustainability
MICHELIN Green Star
"I express the terroir of Ōhara in my cooking. I use only foodstuffs grown locally, to minimise food mileage. Vegetable ends are used in drinks and as compost. Old broadleaf trees emit a great deal of carbon dioxide, so we use them as a heat source to return it to nature."
