MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Here you’ll find a luxurious world view befitting the BVLGARI jewellery brand. Chef Luca Fantin serves brilliant and beautiful contemporary dishes.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Chef Shinji Harada chose a compact design for the elegant dining room so that he could ensure just the right feel, unique to his restaurant, for anyone and everyone there. His motto is ‘the shortest distance for the ingredient’, so the food he brings to your table always has the aroma of freshness (aroma fresca). The crab insalata, steamed anago with herbs and wagyu steak are all delicate and beautiful.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Enjoy the gastronomy of a Japanese chef active in Rome and Tokyo. He presents cutting-edge cuisine in the form of modern-day Italian cooking that blends tradition and innovation and to which he brings elements of regional Japanese cuisine and food culture. A representative dish is the potato spaghetti that uses cultured Japanese-made butter and Italian fish sauce. Take note, too, of the creative desserts, such as the flower-and-herb tart.

Gastronomy & Sustainability

MICHELIN Green Star

“Our philosophy is to be in harmony with nature. Vegan menus reduce demand for livestock, which place a heavy burden on the environment. We promote the use of honey from Japanese bees to protect the ecosystem. We use organic herbs and vegetables to facilitate the natural cycle of things.”

ALTER EGO

  • 2-2-32 Kandajimbocho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, 101-0051, Japan
  • ¥¥¥ · Italian

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

‘Alter Ego’ refers to chef Hirayama, right-hand man to chef Tokuyoshi, who runs the main location in Milan. At the Milan restaurant, the theme is ‘Japanese food with Italian ingredients’, while the theme of the Tokyo location is the inverse: ‘Italian food with Japanese ingredients’. The speciality of the house, ‘Milkmaid Pasta’, emerged from an encounter with a mozzarella craftsman who raises water buffalo in Chiba Prefecture.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Chef Teruhito Negishi conveys the appeal of the ingredients in a simple way. This includes grilling large pieces of meat slowly over charcoal. For this reason, reservations require a party of at least two. Handmade pasta is paired with seasonal seafood and leaves a lasting impression. He also serves local dishes like ‘Sarde in Saor’, made with sweet vinegar, chopped green onions and red peppers, to give his customers a taste of what it’s like to be in Italy.

BOTTEGA

  • B1F, 5-17-8 Hiro, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, 150-0012, Japan
  • ¥¥¥ · Italian

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

The chef Shohei Sasagawa emphasises the tastes of local cuisine that he studied in various places in Italy. Adding his own sensibilities, he draws out the natural flavours of the ingredients. ‘Tripe, Abomasum and Tricandille Stew’ is a Tuscan dish, but there’s a touch of originality here. In Tuscany, they stew the tripe and abomasum in chicken broth, but Sasagawa has found a way to increase the umami by stewing them for several hours in broth made from offal.

Ristorante HONDA

  • 2-12-35 Kitaaoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 107-0061, Japan
  • ¥¥¥ · Italian

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Chef Tetsuya Honda has experience with French cuisine and uses Japanese ingredients to create modern Italian dishes. He uses a syphon to brew the wakame and clam dashi in front of the customer, which he pours over white-fleshed fish for a cream chowder-like taste. The creative dishes could be described as the Japanese rising sun against the tricolour French and Italian flags. Here are dishes that could only be conceived in Japan.

The dishes feature plenty of Japanese ingredients prepared using Italian cooking techniques.

Regalo

  • B1F, 4-6-2 Yoyogi, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, 151-0053, Japan
  • ¥¥¥ · Italian

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

When the restaurant first opened, the name was prefixed with ‘Ristorante’, but the sign was changed out of a desire to freely pursue originality, unbound by Italian culinary conventions. Tomomi Ogura uses Japanese ingredients to provide a sense of the season, incorporating cuisine from southern Italy in the summer and from northern Italy in winter. His specialities are pasta and chargrilled dishes which are seasoned simply with salt.
