Iwaki

To keep each visit feeling fresh, there are no standard dishes. Western vegetables are also woven into the cooking as part of that approach. Tsukuri is given an extra twist through techniques such as curing with kelp and soy marination, while fish and meat dishes may draw inspiration from Western cooking. Desserts end the meal on a refreshing note with shaved ice featuring fruits and vegetables. Yet for all the playful creativity, the cuisine remains firmly rooted in Japanese sensibilities. The chef’s desire to delight comes through in every dish.
