The “omakase” menu pulls dishes from their à la carte offerings as well as a sprinkling of compelling off-menu items.

The cultural collision is best seen in dishes like the tajarin, hand-cut pasta dressed in butter, miso-cured egg yolk and parmesan. Tiramisu takes an Eastern turn with an ethereal, plum wine-soaked tofu filling.
