Mochibuta Tonkatsu Taiyo

- ¥ · Tonkatsu
MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
The name ‘Taiyo’ means ‘sun,’ invoking the vigour of the sun as it rises each day. To bring out the soft texture of the pork, the meat is fried at a low temperature, using vegetable oil for a light finish. The calligraphy on the wall reads ‘The pork looks bigger on your neighbour’s plate’—a tonkatsu version of ‘the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.’ Something to share a smile about while you wait for your order.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
The owner-chef learnt broadmindedness from his years of training in French cuisine. He was inspired, too, by the food culture of pursuing originality while emphasising tradition. His speciality is bouillabaisse. The rich soup brings out the flavour of fragrantly grilled seafood, and the leftover soup is used to make risotto. The seasonal terrines are unique, featuring ingredients such as barracuda and eggplant or crab and Chinese cabbage.

Yakitori Abe

- ¥¥ · Yakitori
MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
The chef assembles the sequence of yakitori chicken cuts according to customer preferences. To their delight, he starts beer drinkers off with chicken breast and wine tipplers with chicken heart. Seasoning is simple: salt, sauce or soy sauce, depending on the item—whichever best brings out the flavour. The top recommendation is the chicken wings, which ticks all three boxes. The skin is fragrant, the meat and fat are sweet, and the umami unique to meat on the bone.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
The owner-chef wants the natural flavours of the ingredients to come through in each bowl. The chicken-based soup using free-range chicken in the standard soy sauce flavoured ramen is rich in umami. A combination of dashi from beef, pork and seafood makes for a complex flavour. Numerous toppings are offered for customers to enjoy a variety of different tastes. The roasted wagyu and chicken and homemade wontons are popular.
