The Japanese Restaurant
Switzerland
The Japanese is The Chedi Andermatt’s Japanese-inspired dining room, led by executive chefs Dominik Sato and Fabio Toffolon. Within the Alpine hotel, it offers a culinary experience distinct from the property’s broader European and Asian restaurant menu. The kitchen concentrates on the preparation of carefully selected ingredients, using Japanese references in a contemporary format. The restaurant’s approach is expressed through the idea of ichi go ichi e, the particular combination of people, place and moment that gives each dinner its own character. This is a destination meal within the hotel rather than a casual stop between activities. For visitors staying in Andermatt, it provides a reason to give dinner a substantial place in the itinerary, with the surrounding mountain setting adding context to the experience.
