THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

In this exclusive space available to just 13 diners a night, courses centering Yamanashi’s famous Choshu wagyu are prepared atop a gleaming teppan grill. White-clad chefs cook every dish before your eyes, explaining the provenance and particularities of every ingredient. The dramatically lit garden with its tumbling waterfalls provides a scenic backdrop to their work, for a meal as elegantly entertaining as it is delicious. Perched at the marble counter, well-curated glass of wine in hand, it is hard not to feel you are experiencing the apotheosis of fine dining.
