Mutsukari

The open kitchen is the centre of this restaurant where all the actions of the chefs can be followed. Chef Yoshihisa Akiyama serves his dishes in tapas form, and they are visual gems and taste bombs, in which the vegetable plays an important role. That can be Yuba, a soup with giant radishes, or a bowl of soup with turnips, tofu, khaki, apple and rice cake; or baked tomato tofu with Chinese cabbage or an aspic of seasonal vegetables.
