[Shinohara] in Konan City was a restaurant considered by gourmets to be one of Japan's leading restaurants. However, in 2016, Chef Shinohara walked away from the accolades to challenge himself in the new territory of Tokyo. The name Ginza Shinohara comes with high expectations. To some, this may contribute to a sense of pressure, but Chef Shinohara's deeply creative cooking has surpassed even the high standards he is known for. Of course, this does not mean that the essential nature of his cooking has changed, and it continues to draw upon the powerful natural bounty of the rural landscape. This is the characteristic pride of Chef Shinohara that will never be lost. The cooking that Chef Shinohara has poured his heart and soul into developing has established a real presence, even in the competitive gourmet hotspot of Ginza.
