Last night’s meal is among the best meals I’ve eaten in my life. Through our dinner, Chef Dan married worlds of herb-y freshness and citrus with comforting warm rice, aromatic green onion and deep, dark reduced soy sauce. Cured red snapper maki, tempura shrimp, rich wagyu beef, and pork belly in broth are at once dish centerpieces and vehicles for a tango of flavors served with them. It’s all break-your-face delicious and expertly prepared before your very eyes.
Chef Dan is thoughtful about his ingredients and unafraid to let them speak for themselves. You taste each ingredient at just the right intensity and texture.
Thin and silky sliced tuna with a scallion sauce, crispy shallot, and purple shiso leaf was a big hit for me, but everything connects, honestly.
You will watch his disciplined and precise preparation, but this is no militant, grumpy-bear chef. He brings a joy and congeniality to his art and with each bite it will rub off on you, too. You can’t help but talk about the food with the other guests and the chef himself.
Atmosphere is like the food and the chef: Dynamic yet warm, Fashionable yet tasteful, Luxurious and inviting. On the 4th floor, the restaurant of about 15-20 seats overlooks an intersection bustling with nightlife just across the Sanjo bridge. Sit at the counter if you can. Chef Dan seems like the kind of guy who knows everyone, and the place has such a classy personal vibe, you never know who will drop by and fit right in.
