I wanted to create an atmosphere more like a dining table than a restaurant," said Mr. Miyashita, general manager of HiTOHi, who was involved in the launch of the restaurant [LURRAº] in Okazaki. As Miyashita says, "I want to create a place where people can naturally get closer to each other, just like a campfire.

［The staff, who have honed their skills at LURRA° and SOWER in Shiga Prefecture, offer dishes that are not only exuberant but also delicate and deep. In the evening, diners can enjoy a seven-course menu starting at 13,200 yen, including plump and juicy grilled fish dishes, elaborate appetizers, and meat dishes. Enjoying these dishes while gazing at the flickering flames is sure to give you the strength to start working hard again tomorrow.
