TAKAZAWA

FUELING THE MYSTIQUE ... “Chef Yoshiaki Takazawa recreates the intimate ambience of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony at his fine-dining restaurant that seats just 10 guests. FrenchJapanese fusion creations are served straight from the open kitchen, and the 10-course tasting menu, Enjoy Your Imagination, is all about throwing out the rule book.” HERE TO STAY ... “The signature Ratatouille is a vegetable terrine prepared in different ways, where the attention-to-detail is seen and tasted in each morsel.” LITTLE DETAILS ... “The friendship between Chef Takazawa-san and his wife Akiko keeps every experience for us memorable. They are extremely dedicated to their art, their creativity, and in delivering a new experience every time—not something that we usually get at restaurants of similar calibre. They’ve kept a record of all the dishes we have ever had, and our favourites, so they can always serve us new creations, and that our favourite is always featured.” – Carmen Chua, CEO of One IFC Takazawa, 3 Chome-5-2 Akasaka, Tokyo, Japan.
