The cooking

Michelin’s inspectors describe a restaurant that values both Japanese culinary aesthetics and classical art. The teahouse-style interior holds hanging scrolls and vases collected over many years, and the simply presented dishes are meant to complement the serving ware. It also draws on home-brewed sake and fermentation. The name Doppo, meaning unique, was a favourite phrase of the epicure Rosanjin Kitaoji.
