Japanese Owner Chef Makoto Okamoto has a unique and avant-garde sense of culinary style, integrating the essence of French cuisine and culinary practices of other countries into traditional Japanese cuisine. When he opened La Bombance in Nishi-Azabu in 2004, it shook up the culinary scene in Japan, as it has been awarded a Michelin Star for eight consecutive years. Chef Okamoto’s culinary philosophy is simple. “Building on a solid foundation of fundamental skills, any variations must be incorporated into it to achieve a balance. The ultimate principle is that the food must be delicious.”
