At H1, an Italian restaurant rooted in deep respect and affection for its producers, the team pursues dishes that can be experienced nowhere else. Tucked away in a quiet corner removed from the bustle of Ebisu, an extraordinary world unfolds the moment guests step inside.

Chef Tetsuya Horie, raised in a family that ran a French restaurant, naturally found his path in the culinary arts. After honing his craft both in Japan and abroad—including experience in three‑ and two‑Michelin‑starred restaurants—he now devotes himself to creating cuisine that only he can express.

Each dish is built upon a sincere dialogue with Japan’s seasonal ingredients. Rare and characterful products—such as ostrich from Tsukuba in Ibaraki and deer heart from Aki‑Takata in Hiroshima—take center stage. His cooking conveys not only the flavors of the ingredients but also the passion of the producers behind them. The result is a singular culinary worldview—one that transcends genre, blending free‑spirited creativity with techniques refined overseas. It is nothing short of Horie cuisine.

The interior is a chic, tranquil space defined by black and gray tones, accented with natural wood throughout. From the open kitchen, guests can enjoy the vivid energy of the cooking process, and the intimate distance that allows for conversation with the chef after the meal is one of the restaurant’s unique pleasures. Despite being in Ebisu, it offers a rare opportunity to quietly and wholeheartedly engage with food.

Where the producers’ devotion meets the chef’s sensibilities, a one‑of‑a‑kind culinary world is born. Guests are invited to experience a new form of dining that transcends borders and genres at H1.
