Chef

Message

Influenced by my father, a former chef. I started my career as a chef.
I have sublimated the ingredients of Fukuoka, Kyushu, where I was born and raised, into French cuisine with a touch of Japanese style.

We do not offer a la carte dishes, but only course menus for both lunch and dinner, as we want our guests to taste the ingredients that are only available during the season. We also hope that our guests will enjoy the pleasure of discovering their own tastes by using a variety of sauces in each dish as one of the ways to enjoy French cuisine.

    The role of the décère in a course is to match the cuisine. Just as we use the season's ingredients in our dishes, we also use fruits and vegetables that are in season at that time in our desserts and palate cleansers. Our goal is to create desserts that are not overly assertive, but still offer enjoyment and surprise. From the amuse to the petit fours, we hope you will enjoy the flow of our dishes and desserts.

    The first and foremost mainstay of the dining experience for guests at La Saison is the cuisine, and the second is the luxurious view of the Japanese garden that can be seen from the seating area. From the moment you step into the restaurant, to the time you enjoy your meal, to the time you leave, the best part of being a service person is being able to convey all the charm of this place. We deliver attentive service that will make you want to visit again.
