Two Stars: Excellent cooking
MICHELIN Green Star
The charm of rustic simplicity evokes longing for hometown roots. Sojiki means ‘herbivorous cuisine’, a gift from the bounty of nature. As if weaving a story, the menu overflows with natural flavours. Like a storyteller, the chef mesmerises as he talks about each dish, charming guests with his playful way with words. The stars are the rice cooked in an old-style okudo stove and the roasted dried sardines. No-nonsense cooking eloquently conveys the chef’s gratitude for his ingredients.
"‘We are what we eat’, so the earth and our bodies are indivisible. For that reason, we must respect the fruits of the earth. Our credo is "eat all of what is edible", so we even buy unripe vegetables from producer We s to prevent waste. are mindful of food sustainability, taking, for example, any leftover ingredients to chicken farms in Ohara, where they are used for feed."
