Farm-to-table restaurants in Japan include Soholm Cafe+Dining in Osaka, known for its daring chefs and devotion to local ingredients; the two We Are the Farm restaurants in Tokyo; and Noz by T.Y. Farm, a more casual eatery that focuses on “exotic” Western vegetables like kale and arugula. It recently opened a branch in Shinagawa, Tokyo.
The latest entry on this small list of restaurants is Kigi, in Chiyoda, Tokyo.
