Arva at Aman Tokyo
Japan
Arva brings Italian cooking to Aman Tokyo’s 33rd floor, with the Imperial Palace gardens and city skyline providing a dramatic backdrop. The open kitchen gives the room a sense of activity within the hotel’s otherwise restrained setting. Venice-trained chef Masakazu Hiraki’s approach places Japanese ingredients within the traditions of Italian food. Seasonal menus explore familiar dishes through the produce available locally, with an emphasis on clear flavours and careful preparation. An aperitivo offers a lighter way to experience the restaurant. Seasonal cocktails arrive with Italian snacks such as prosciutto, cheese and bagna cauda, making the transition from late afternoon to dinner part of the occasion.
