Thank you for visiting the L'alba website.

We chose a counter of just nine seats so that the hands finishing each plate could reach you directly. The brief words exchanged across the counter are, we feel, a part of this restaurant.

The regional cooking of Italy, made with the fish and beef of Japan. Goto fish, Amakusa Wagyu — the finest of the day, quietly composed onto a single plate.

Three years at ACQUA PAZZA in Tokyo, six at ACQUAMARE in Yokosuka, five at Gastronomia Heritage Yokohama — after those kitchens, I came to L'alba as its head chef.

We hope to offer you an hour as quiet and full as daybreak. We look forward to seeing you again across the counter.

Chef Yohei Takahashi
