URANO

Behind an understated entrance along the approach toward Yasukuni Shrine lies a dining room with generous breathing room, appointed with just 3 tables. Located in Kudanminami, URANO offers a peaceful French dining experience where guests can focus on each dish in an unhurried setting.

Throughout the courses, the kitchen's delicate command of temperature stands out. From meats cooked to remain tender while picking up a pleasant sear to sakura trout that flakes effortlessly, the heat application displays confident technique. Beginning with an airy, fragrant octopus beignet, moving on to risotto topped with creamy fugu milt, and highlighted by flavor-concentrated sauces, the cooking honors classical foundations while feeling thoroughly contemporary and light.

Dessert brings a playful close to the meal, featuring creations like a fruit parfait accented with basil ice cream. Diners can accompany the meal with wine pairings or choose a dedicated non-alcoholic pairing curated to match the food.

Set courses are served for both lunch and dinner; with so few seats available, booking ahead is essential.
