In French, the word hermitage can mean “a hideaway.” In the fall of 2024, the Hermitage quietly opened its doors below Restaurant Hiramatsu Hiroo in Hiroo, Tokyo.
The restaurant is characterized by a timeless beauty and authenticity that will never fade. Every detail is born out of a profoundly vibrant sensibility and an intellect that rejoices in the dynamic freedom of the individual.
Chef Kazuki Inoue wields traditional techniques, fresh ingredients, and delicate tableware to craft an à la carte menu that is never the same from one night to the next. Tasting wines are served table-side by general manager Masami Kono, whose spirited service enlivens an expansive wine list featuring more than 3,000 labels. Together, the two conduct a complex symphony of French cuisine.
Whether you are looking to feast in splendor or enjoy a single drink or dish before heading out into the night, the doors of this little sanctuary will warmly welcome you.
