The Restaurant
Tucked away in a serene corner of Maruyama Park, renowned for its cherry blossoms, Mizai offers an exclusive culinary experience. Chef Hitoshi Ishihara meticulously orchestrates every aspect, from the ceremonial preparation of the space to the selection of exquisite vessels. Emulating the refined *chakaiseki*, the tasting menu commences with a simple yet elegant dish accompanied by freshly steamed rice. The restaurant currently holds three Michelin stars, a testament to its unwavering commitment to culinary excellence. Sashimi presentations are generous, and seasonal stews are served in dishware that reflects the current time of year. In the spirit of the tea ceremony, *kogashi* tea, made from scorched rice, concludes the experience, leaving a lasting impression of tranquility and sophisticated flavors.
