Step into the world of Amarantos!
We are having a grand reopening now that we have newly relocated within Tokyo from Akasaka to Ginza.
Our name, Amarantos, is Greek and related to amaranthus flowers, meaning renewal and permanence. It symbolizes my culinary philosophy of blending the modern and the classical.
Respect for French culture and the preciousness of the Japanese psyche. I hope to combine these together to draw out the best in each, to serve the best ingredients prepared with the best culinary methods, all rooted in my lifetime of culinary experience for everyone’s enjoyment.
I also hope above all that the smiles my cooking brings to people's faces lead to good health.
To drive this occasion even further forward, I asked Yasumichi Morita of GLAMOROUS co.,ltd., who has been working successfully both in Japan and abroad, to design the interior. He has created a wonderful space unlike anything else in the world that captures my love for my restaurant.
Now with a passionately crafted new interior design, I hope you will come enjoy the world of the newly reborn Amarantos.

The Designer's Vision
The name of this shop, amarantos, is Greek for "an imaginary flower that never withers".
The restaurant, which aims to take the one-Michelin-star French chef Miyazaki to even
greater heights, is filled with plant-themed designs.
The flowers that will shine forever are expressed with plates from the Mille Nuits collection
by Baccarat, the king of French crystal.
The crystal cut shines and sparkles with the light and continues to decorate the space forever.
