Series in Azabudai is located by the intersection of Roppongi and Iikura Katamachi. It is a Chinese restaurant that opened in April 2020, a sister restaurant to the counter-style Chinese restaurant Kohou in Roppongi.
The chef is Yuki Kaneko. After graduating from Osaka Abenotsuji Culinary School, he learned the basics of Chinese cuisine at Heichinro, the oldest Chinese restaurant in Japan. He then experienced modern techniques at SENSE, a one-star restaurant in the Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo.
Chef Kaneko, who has a sommelier certification, pairs dishes made with traditional Cantonese cooking techniques with influences from his training in places such as Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore and Indonesia. Similar to Kohou in Roppongi, the tasting menu style with small portions and many courses (dinner includes about 26 dishes) develops a unique worldview.
The restaurant is a long space with a main dining area and an open kitchen with four counter seats at the back. It has both extraordinary richness and warmth. The chef's table, where you can enjoy conversation right in front of chef Kaneko, is a special seat. At the "secret bar" at the entrance, you can enjoy not only aperitif, but also after-dinner drinks, wine and cheese.
