Tabelog ratingFlorilege (フロリレージュ) applies modern French techniques to a tasting menu where seasonal Japanese vegetables take centre stage. The experience unfolds in a theatrical setting, with all guests seated at a long, communal counter that wraps around a bustling open kitchen. This ‘table d’hôte’ format makes the chefs’ precise work part of the show.
Guests consistently praise the creativity of the vegetable-focused courses, with dishes featuring turnip, young corn, tomato, and mushrooms earning frequent mentions. Other highlights include the seasonal ayu (sweetfish) course, the house-made steamed bread served with soy-milk butter, and a memorable dessert of Amazon cacao presented as an omelette. The non-alcoholic pairing is also singled out by many as particularly inventive and well-matched.
However, the experience can be inconsistent. Some diners report uneven service, such as forgotten wine pours or missed dish explanations. A few found certain courses, like those featuring beetroot, to be bitter, and the wine pairings have been described as inconsistent. The communal seating and bright, active environment may not suit those seeking a quiet, private meal. A small number of reviewers also noted being charged for an unsolicited extra course.
The lunch tasting menu is considered excellent value, with reviewers in 2024–2026 paying around ¥12,000. The dinner course is listed at ¥22,000, plus a service charge. Drink pairings can add significantly to the bill; the non-alcoholic option is often reported at ¥6,600, while wine pairings can be much higher, with one guest citing a ¥19,000 pairing.
