The Story Behind
Our Story
The secret of our success
My mum will probably shout at me once she reads this for one reason.... Destiny linked me years back in time with Japan working for a group of Japanese restaurants in London, in which partly work and partly leisure, I had the chance or perhaps the “luck” to travel a lot to the country of the rising sun.
Quality & Balance
Our Food Philosophy
I have always been very minimalist, so when discovering Japanese culture my understanding of the expression “less is more” boost all over my head when I star discovering the tiny restaurants from North to South in Japan, specialising in just one dish or one type of cuisine, ramen shops, curry and udon counters in the train stations, sushi restaurants, nabe houses, etc..

He makes it clear to us that he wants his to be that Japanese tavern outside the empire of the rising sun that has never been found: «I want diners to feel Japan. That's why a lot of Japanese and Asian people come." It even has the third collection of Japanese whiskey in Europe and the eighth in the world.
