MASHIROMASHIRO

After Ashiya and Gion, the new frontier for Hiroyuki Koshimo is Karasuma. The shop's previous name, 'Roiro', meant 'Black as Lacquer', so Koshimo changed it to 'Pure White' to set a different tone. Though his technique is French, Koshimo is not limited by genre, incorporating Japanese elements to broaden the expressive range. Risotto in season, prepared with Yosano rice, is a perennial favourite in this lively and hospitable eatery.
