Yamada Chikara doesn't need to advertise its presence to have diners clamoring for one of just 12 seats at its dark counter. Chef Yamada blends cutting-edge molecular gastronomy with traditional kaiseki techniques to produce cuisine that nourishes body, mind, and spirit. Dishes like smoked eel and freeze-dried foie gras, cubed sashimi with ocean trout roe and soy sauce mousse, and beef-tongue-and-wine stew are as delightful to look at as they are to taste. Service reminiscent of an ancient tea ceremony makes every visit a special occasion.
