THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

Stepping off the elevator to the unexpected sight of soaring flames and the rich aroma of wood smoke from the open kitchen is the first sign that you are in for a delightfully surprising meal. Tiered seating facing a huge floor-to-ceiling window on one wall provides each group with an intimate space to themselves as well as views on the changing seasons in the surrounding gardens and the majestic figure of Mt. Fuji beyond. Decked out in wood, stone and candlelight, the dining room effortlessly blends a rustic charm with a design-savvy elegance that perfectly foreshadows the unexpected combinations of East and West in Chef Hoshino's pitch-perfect modern kaiseki.
