MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

One MICHELIN Star: High quality cooking, worth a stop!

“There is a watchful eye over the experience at this intimate eight-seat counter, where a multicourse contemporary tasting menu shares a singular interpretation of Japanese cuisine. The dishes are often unexpected yet always thoughtful. Spectacular seafood is a given: staple luxuries like bluefin tuna and uni are flown in weekly from Toyosu Market. Instead of the typical parade of nigiri, dishes offer unique combinations of Eastern and Western culinary sensibilities, as in the beet- and vodka-smoked salmon macaron or a chutoro hand roll with wasabi guacamole. The meal ends memorably with desserts like yuzu ice cream topped with Hokkaido uni and a sprinkling of caviar with lime zest.”


ABOUT KOYA

Koya is an intimate 8-seat tasting-menu-only experience by Noble Rice. Our tasting menu is a focus on superior ingredients. In the Japanese culture, the peak season of a particular ingredient is called its shun (旬) and the shun of many ingredients are passionately anticipated each year. At Koya, you can expect to experience the concept of shun as our ever-changing, hyper-seasonal, and thematic menu will continue honoring tradition while showcasing new techniques. The tasting bar at Koya is like a stage, where every element of design is meant to highlight the theatre of the tasting experience.
