About Alternative

Alternative offers a concept of a family restaurant for adults, serving dishes from around the world based on French cuisine. Enjoy Chef Saito’s worldview to the fullest in this unconstrained and free-spirited establishment, aiming to be an “entertaining” place for our customers.

We provide the unique “Saito cuisine,” which incorporates the essence of Japanese and Chinese dishes into the foundation of French culinary techniques.

Please enjoy the chef’s skills and sensibility, which continue to create a unique culinary world with new methods by blending the allure of traditional French cuisine with Japanese and Chinese elements.

With a rich selection of à la carte dishes and alcoholic beverages, spend a fulfilling time enjoying your favorite dish with wine, or pair a little food with your preferred wine, or indulge in a hearty meat dish, all according to your own desires.

The chef, who discovered the freedom of French cuisine during his time in France, named the restaurant Alternative to create new value. The space, once an old town factory, also showcases its unique character.
