Kiro translates as “homeward journey” and as such symbolises what this restaurant means to Félix Jiménez who, dressed in his spotless white kimono, demonstrates the full array of skills he acquired in Japan. There, under the tutelage of maestro Yoshikawa Takamasa, he discovered the Edomae technique of preparing sushi, its tradition, the mystical meaning of its rules, and the secrets of Koshihikari rice… to create the perfect nigiri you need to remain faithful to the time-honoured Shokunin philosophy. These new premises are already a place of culinary pilgrimage given that behind the front door (which is over 300 years old), the dining experience is a ritual reserved for just six guests who eat at the counter. Here, the senses are transported to a new state of consciousness in order to savour everything on the exclusive menu, which is based around sushi but with lots of different mini grilled and smoked fish dishes. No alcohol is served here, just water and tea.
