Dinner at Hajime. 6pm.

3-Michelin Star French

An artwork resembling a planet dominates the dining room. Look closely and the ‘planet’ contains overlapping images of cuisine, which gather together to form a picture of the Earth. ‘Dialogue with the Earth’ is, indeed, the theme of this restaurant. The experience of growing up amid the beauty of nature shaped the bold world view of Hajime Yoneda. Cuisine that draws inspiration from all Creation is imbued with love and respect for nature.
