RESTAURANT TOYO

Restaurant TOYO opened its doors in Paris in 2009, with Chef Toyomitsu Nakayama, the namesake of the restaurant,... In French cuisine, one traditionally does not have the luxury of interacting with the chefs as the kitchen is closed off to patrons. However, at Restaurant TOYO Tokyo, patrons will find an assortment of ingredients lined up on the counter as the chef prepares the meal right in front of them. This is an element that has been borrowed from traditional Japanese \"kaiseki\" dining. By being able to observe the chef, customers are able to enjoy the process of the entire meal. A warm atmosphere flows as one strikes up a conversation with the chef from across the counter. This is "Counter French", a new idea that has not existed in French cuisine before. It is a comfortable space and one of the most appealing aspects of TOYO... We deliver French cuisine with an intricate Japanese twist - something that reflects Chef Nakayama's own background.
