“I’ll leave it
up to you.”

In Japanese, omakase means placing complete trust in the chef. In the intimate atmosphere of shio upstairs, we bring this tradition to life at the highest level.

Our chef prepares a curated 12-course menu from the finest seasonal ingredients. It is a shared experience: every guest enjoys the same culinary masterpiece at the same moment.

We work with a buy-in concept for the menu. Fine drinks and sake pairings can be chosen individually at the restaurant.
