About
Tsubomi was produced by Takashi Saito of the three-Michelin-star Sushi Saito and buys from the same suppliers. The chef uses large-grain aged rice seasoned only with red vinegar and salt, varying its temperature by topping, for a clean, pure style that pairs with sake or wine. The room has a small courtyard garden with a pine bonsai.
