“The most difficult restaurant to go to in Tokyo”

Secretly run restaurants are dotted around Tokyo. It is said that there are places that only registered members or members introduce guests, so you can't make a reservation unless you're a member, and there are places that you don't even know they exist.

SUGALABO, introduced in this daylog, is also one of the restaurants that is strictly operated by member invitation only. It is difficult to make a reservation, but even if you have a reservation ticket, it is a very popular restaurant that takes more than a year to make a reservation.

What's the secret to popularity? Of course there is also marketing, but what caught my eye was Yosuke Suga's sincerity, passion, and love for cooking. I think I could understand what a genius means when he puts in a lot of effort and achieves terrible results by looking at him over the counter. He personally visits farmers and fishermen to obtain the best ingredients from the archipelago all year round, and sometimes even farms on his own. Also, unlike the usual famous owner-chefs, he always cooks himself while guarding his restaurant. How many restaurants are there where you can always taste the dishes that the chef cooks himself?

Taste it and you'll see that the popularity of this place is by no means overheated for no reason. The simple harmony of main ingredients, sub-ingredients, and sauces, which come together as if hundreds of puzzle pieces are put together when you chew and hold it in your mouth, shines when you taste it with your mouth rather than seeing it with your eyes. His cuisine is not the type of fancy on the outside like that of his teacher, Joel Robuchon, but on the inside it is the most glamorous. Perhaps, in the essential aspect of taste, he has already surpassed his master.

Because of the exclusive reservation policy, it is not easy for foreigners to taste his cuisine, but he has produced several restaurants in Tokyo. A typical example is the Ginza Louis Vuitton restaurant, so it would be good to stop by when you are nearby.
