About TAPAS MOLECULAR BAR

A counter-style TAPAS MOLECULAR BAR, exclusively for eight guests.

This restaurant presents molecular cuisine—deconstructing familiar dishes and reintegrating them with ingredient combinations, innovative cooking techniques, and a refined balance of taste, aroma, texture, and temperature.

Head chef Kento Ushikubo’s concept is "an art gallery of 13 dishes that stimulates the five senses and the imagination."

Employing tools and techniques found in laboratories and art studios, and complemented by expert pairings from sommeliers and bartenders, the experience evokes the feeling of wandering through an art gallery while embarking on a culinary journey across the world.
