MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
One Star: High quality cooking
The name derives from wakei seijaku, ‘harmony, respect, purity and tranquillity’, key tenets of the wabicha style of tea ceremony. Chef Ryuji Takemura interprets this as ‘respect for harmony’, as he values the rules of decorum between host and guest. A believer in the principles of fluidity, he is moving Japanese cuisine forwards without forgetting its essence. Served between main items, iimushi, mochi rice steamed with topping, is faithful to the basics. The interior exhibits a modern sensibility.
