Restaurant information
The proprietor, Mitsuharu Onuma, took a job at a general company back home in Yamagata, but wanting work he could run himself one day, he honed the cooking skills he had loved since childhood and decided to pursue a career in Japanese cuisine. After studying at a culinary school, he trained at renowned restaurants around the country before opening this restaurant in February 2020.

COMMENT
Since the restaurant opened during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a great deal of hardship at first, but by facing the ingredients every day and continuing to pursue 'dishes you can only eat at our restaurant,' its reputation grew. Now it welcomes many guests from overseas as well. Dishes made from vegetables grown by his own parents in his native Yamagata Prefecture — whom he calls 'the producers he trusts most' — sometimes appear on the menu. It is truly a wonderful originality that is 'available only at our restaurant.'
