Amuse

A standout dish that draws many diners to Amuse in Sengawa is the glossy fresh sea urchin served in consommé jelly. The clear, deeply savory gelatin melts smoothly into the rich sweetness of the uni, earning a loyal following among regulars who order course menus around it. Warm house-baked bread accompanies the meals, offering a satisfying way to savor every drop of sauce right from the start.

At lunch, accessible course options include pan-seared natural white fish and the chef's meat dish of the day. Courses open with an organic salad and soup, transition to a choice of fish or meat main, and finish with dessert alongside post-meal coffee or herbal tea. More indulgent options are available as well, including Japanese beef cheek simmered for 5 hours until tender, as well as homard lobster and abalone courses for special occasions.

In the evening, guests can linger over wine paired with bistro classics like escargots or rich foie gras risotto in an unhurried setting. Run by a husband-and-wife team, the small dining room provides a personal and welcoming atmosphere suitable for celebrations or casual gatherings alike. Because seating is limited, reserving ahead for both lunch and dinner is strongly advised.
