Series

  • 3-4-11 Azabudai, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 106-0041, Japan
  • ¥¥¥ · Chinese

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

The chef uses ingredients from around the world in his quest for a new Chinese cuisine. His signature dish, grilled chicken wings stuffed with foie gras, is the perfect example. In Hong Kong, it’s traditional to stuff chicken wings with mochi rice, but here the dish uses foie gras instead. The allure at Series is the meal consisting of numerous small items only made possible by serving all the guests at the same time, which is why they are asked to arrive at a designated time.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Chef Hiroyuki Shinohara serves up traditional Chinese cuisine with a modern interpretation. Caviar and Comté cheese are added to the spring roll for a salty tang. While dried awabi (abalone) is normally served in top-grade Chinese soup stock and seasonings, here water alone is used to draw out the umami. He treasures both tradition and evolution. Using top-quality Japanese ingredients, he spins unique interpretations of Chinese culture and regional cooking, creating a new Chinese cuisine.

Ippei Hanten

  • ¥¥¥ · Chinese

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Ippei Adachi’s cuisine is a bridge between Hong Kong and Japan. Drawing on his experiences in Hong Kong, he offers Canton-based cuisine prepared with high quality Japanese ingredients. Starting set menus with congee is an idea he borrowed from tea ceremony cuisine. Shangtang, Chinese soup stock of the highest grade, is prepared with lightness of flavour in mind. He makes the stock with Jinhua dry-cured ham, heightening the deliciousness of the vegetables and seafood.

The name means ‘peach tree’ in allusion to a Chinese proverb, ‘The peach tree’s delicious fruit makes people beat a path to it’.

He brings together traditional cooking from throughout China and interprets it with a unique Japanese sensibility. His precise, skilful handling of kitchen knives and delicate seasonings, light on oil, inspire confidence.

Shichubo Yung

  • 6-5-5 Shirokane, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 108-0072, Japan
  • ¥¥¥ · Chinese

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

‘Shichubo’ means ‘private kitchen’, and Chef Yuta Hara seeks to create the mood of a private kitchen in Hong Kong. Hara bases his work on Cantonese cuisine but tweaks it with some tricks of his own. For example, the famous awabi here is dressed with Shaoxing-wine butter sauce or with nori sauce of Manila-clam dashi. Diners can add noodle or dim sum dishes according to how hungry they are, in a much-appreciated customer-focused touch.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Ryosuke Tamura’s theme is ‘Chinese cooking that conveys the feeling of Japan’. Focusing on classic Sichuan-based Chinese fare, Tamura aims to evolve Chinese cuisine by fusing it with Japanese. For example, whereas Chinese dishes are typically garnished with decoratively cut carrots or orchids, Tamura’s approach is to dress his dishes with seasonal leaves, as on a kaiseki hassun. Jingdezhen and Arita crockery express the cultures of both China and Japan.

At WASA, you’ll be served original dishes in a theatre-like atmosphere. Masataka Yamashita uses choice ingredients and handles a Chinese wok skilfully. He has experience with Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine, and his mentor from Gifu taught him both how to cook and select ingredients regardless of genre.
