TAKAO
Maruyama, Japan
TAKAO serves a seasonal omakase menu in Maruyama, interpreting Hokkaido produce through an Italian kitchen. Depending on the season, the cooking may draw on local sea urchin, asparagus, crab or rhubarb, with the sequence changing as ingredients come into their own. The appeal is the focused format and a clear regional identity within Italian cooking. Choose it for a quieter dining occasion away from the central entertainment district, especially if you enjoy leaving the menu to the chef.
