It was our farewell dinner by a chef Yoshihiro Murata who has been recently awarded seven Michelin stars across three of his restaurants. I had never heard of Yoshihiro Murata, then again, if they aren’t featured on Top Chef or in Food and Wine, I wouldn’t know who they are. He was a third generation ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant) owner and has dedicated his life to spreading knowledge of Japanese cuisine.
The Michelin Guide started as a road atlas for Michelin tire owners. I couldn’t tell you what it takes to get a one, two or three star rating but I do know that getting even 1 star is difficult. As the courses of food came out, I realized that I had never seen a meal like this. The attention to detail and the presentation was amazing. I really enjoyed most of the courses but have to admit, there were a few items that weren’t up my ally.
While having dinner, we were entertained by Geikos and Maikos. I created a separate posting on that topic.
