wavie

A rising star awarded the Silver Egg Plus at RED U‑35 2025.

The name wavie is a coined term that blends the Japanese concepts of wa—harmony and gentle warmth—with a French word meaning “life.”

Having trained at numerous renowned restaurants, the chef offers an inventive course‑style French cuisine rooted in the beauty of Japanese ingredients. Seasonal produce from the Kyoto region is complemented with fermented vegetables and aromatic herbs, creating unexpected combinations that form a new sense of harmony. Modern, refined plating is paired with sauces enriched with wine and cream, resulting in flavors where Japanese and French sensibilities melt together with subtle elegance.

The restaurant occupies a lovingly renovated historic nagaya townhouse, evoking a serene and nostalgic atmosphere. Guests can relax at the counter, watching the chef’s craft unfold while enjoying views of the courtyard garden as it shifts with the seasons.

Japanese aesthetics are reflected in the tableware and cutlery, and the beverage selection includes classic wines as well as thoughtfully crafted non‑alcoholic cocktails. A gentle, uplifting afterglow lingers long after the final course.
