DepTH brianza
An Italian restaurant nestled in a quiet corner of Azabudai Hills
The restaurant DepTH brianza at Azabudai Hills, as its name suggests, is a place that expresses the 'depth' it has cultivated over the years. It welcomes guests with an array of exquisite ingredients delivered from producers across various regions with whom they have a special connection. For instance, the oysters used in the 'Dried Cod, Oysters' dish that appears at the beginning of the course are sourced from a long-established seafood company in Hiroshima Prefecture. In addition to these long-established sources, they also actively use top-quality ingredients from lesser-known producers they wish to support.
Located in the talked-about spot of Azabudai Hills, this establishment on the first floor, away from the bustling restaurant area, offers a quiet and exclusive atmosphere. The interior, resembling a mansion with only 12 seats, provides a truly premium ambiance where you can enjoy private moments. The tableware and art, mainly created by young artists, reflect the idea of 'growing together.' It will undoubtedly become a memorable place in Japan.
