Our dishes, which combine fresh ingredients from Shinshu with French techniques, are three-dimensional creations that maximize the flavors of the ingredients. In addition to the beauty and depth of flavor of each plate, the seasonal blessings of the local area are also a characteristic feature. With our uniquely blended sauces and meticulous techniques, you can savor the traditions of France and the nature of Shinshu. The chef's proud homegrown herbs also serve as an accent, providing a dining experience that can be enjoyed with all five senses. Each ingredient is carefully selected, and everything is crafted to achieve the highest level of taste.

The interior, abundantly made of natural wood, is a space where the warmth and tranquility of nature can be felt. During the day, the sunlight streaming in through the large windows is pleasant, and at night, a sophisticated adult atmosphere prevails. While it is a comfortable and casual space, its chic style enhances the dishes, making it appealing. The open kitchen allows guests to see the chef's skills, which is also well-received as it adds a sense of presence to the dining experience. Care has been taken to ensure that no matter where you sit, you can enjoy a peaceful time.
