Chef Zaiyu Hasegawa's Den is playful, warm, and deeply personal — a kaiseki-influenced omakase that breaks every rule of stuffy Japanese fine dining with wit and genuine hospitality. The DEN salad and 'Dentucky Fried Chicken' amuse-bouche are iconic. It consistently ranks among Asia's 50 Best Restaurants and is far more fun than its accolades suggest; book online well in advance.
