​​Options: Congratulations on such a great milestone. How are you feeling right now?

Kazimune Nishida: Very grateful! Ten years can pass very quickly, but behind the occasion is thousands of services, countless preparations, and the efforts of many people who support the restaurant. Our guests, suppliers, and team members have all been part of this journey with us. Maintaining two Michelin stars for 10 consecutive years is something we never take for granted.
