A one-man operation helmed by the erstwhile head chef of Blue Note Tokyo, Chez Shimizu is a delightful omakase-style French restaurant in Okusawa.
The stylish simplicity of the interior allows the broad dining counter and alluring collection of cookbooks it faces to take centre stage, without any open kitchen distractions.
Lauded for the cost performance of his lunch and dinner courses, sensitivity to seasonal ingredients and combinations of French, Japanese and Moroccan flavours, owner-chef Ikuo Shimizu’s cooking and hospitality never fail to impress.
