Shinichiro Ogata has the gift of ubiquity. On the one hand, he makes objects from glass, ceramics, and bronze and decorates the most prestigious restaurants. On the other, he’s a fantastic cook, producing both traditional Japanese food and more contemporary dishes. Located in the Meguro district, right in the middle of a beautiful garden, the restaurant Yakumo Saryo exudes a sense of calm. Both in the dishes and the surroundings, the watchword is the same: craftsmanship. Shinichiro Ogata’s cuisine reflects his art, simple and refined.
The restaurant offers a breakfast (3200 yen, 24 euros) and lunch service (5000-12 000 yen, 37-90 euros), as well as tea. Having dinner there is trickier, available only by personal invitation from the restaurant, and with one extra condition: the customer needs to have already had lunch at the restaurant.
More information on Yakumo Saryo can be found on the restaurant’s website.
