The name ‘Akasaka Momonoki’ signifies 'peach tree' as a reference to a Chinese proverb that speaks of how the peach tree's delectable fruit attracts people towards it. Takeshi Kobayashi, being deeply connected to his cooking, views his restaurant as the embodiment of that peach tree. It's no wonder he chose to open it during the Peach Festival. His approach involves combining traditional Chinese cuisine with a unique Japanese touch, showcasing his culinary skill and finesse. He takes great care in handling kitchen knives with precision and using delicate seasonings, opting for lighter oil usage, which instills confidence in his patrons.
The inspiration for the restaurant's name stems from the desire to create a place where people can gather for delicious food.
Akasaka Momonoki uses seasonal Japanese Kyoto vegetables, such as Kyoto carrots, Mibuna, mustard vegetables, and more, depending on the time of year. Additionally, Akasaka Momonoki procures fresh, high-quality seafood from reliable intermediaries in Toyosu, including natural shrimp, ensuring the best possible ingredients for dishes.
In the serene and tranquil ambiance of the restaurant, you'll find a cozy table as well as a private room that can comfortably accommodate up to four people. This makes it an ideal spot for enjoying a peaceful dinner with close friends or even for some personal time to unwind. The private room setup allows for entertaining oneself without any disruptions.
The wine list features a curated selection of natural wines, carefully chosen from producers who are dedicated to ‘organic cultivation and natural brewing’. These wines perfectly complement the restaurant’s signature peach tree dishes, offering a delightful and harmonious dining experience.
