Sustainable island French cuisine from Hawaii in Japan for the first time!
”Farm to Table” is a concept that shortens the distance between producers and consumers,
and uses safe and secure local ingredients.
At “natuRe tokyo,” a new business model of “natuRe waikiki,”
which will open in Waikiki in 2021, the concept of “Farm to Table” will be deepened,
The new “natuRe tokyo” restaurant, which will open in Waikiki in 2021, will deepen the concept of “Farm to Table” with the mission of
“communicating the new appeal of Japanese food ingredients” and “providing a dining experience that will lead to a sustainable future”.
We will create a restaurant that “thinks about sustainability through food”.
ABOUT
natuRe tokyo is a useful dining restaurant that combines the delicacy of a restaurant with the casualness of a bistro.
The creative director is Nae Ogawa, executive chef of natuRe waikiki, who has honed her skills at starred restaurants in Japan and abroad and won the GOLD EGG at RED U-35 2019, the Asako Kishi Award, and the Hisao Taki Award.
We propose new island (Japanese) French cuisine made with French techniques using environmentally friendly domestic ingredients in order to create a sustainable future, with the theme of going beyond "Farm to Table."
MENU
We prepare borderless and free dishes by adding the essence of Hawaii, which is also the origin of natuRe, to French-based cuisine using sustainable Japanese ingredients.
For lunch, we offer a Japanese-style set menu that represents a course meal. The menu has a wabi-sabi Japanese-style modern impression, but with a Western essence to create a beautiful blend of Japan and the West.
For dinner, you can choose from a la carte dishes that can be enjoyed casually depending on the occasion, such as a gathering with close friends and family or a date, or a course that allows you to enjoy the worldview of natuRe.

[Message]
At natuRe Waikiki, our goal has been to create a restaurant that uses environmentally conscious, locally produced ingredients and that considers a sustainable food future together with our guests through dishes that showcase the traditions and natural beauty of the area.
At natuRe tokyo, we want to maintain this philosophy and provide a dining experience that encourages our guests to think about the earth and nature in a more casual way.
Although the actions we can take as a single restaurant may be limited, we hope that this philosophy will spread to our guests and create a cycle of giving back to the earth and nature.
