A chef from Azabu

Katsuhiro Ichimoto — former head chef of Azabu, a Michelin Guide Vietnam selection three years running — now behind his own counter.

250-year-old family ceramics

Serving plates brought from Japan — some genuine antiques, passed down through the chef's family. In Saigon, singular.

Not a sushi bar

Multiple techniques brought to bear on every ingredient; Vietnamese produce woven into the seasonings — the chef's pure omakase.
