Signature Dish
ORIGAMIORIGAMI reflects the cultural aspect into its presentation. Chef de Cuisine Ryuji Koga has transformed this dish into art piece to be enjoyed with all five senses. Savour the rich natural flavours of its ingredients from Higuchi Vegetable Farm, where the local farmer utilizes techniques dating back more than 400 years.
My mantra and guiding principle is to only ever serve food that I think is pleasing to the eye and delicious to the palate.
