Yoshiko, the wife of BOTTEGA BLU. chef Takashi Oshima, who passed away suddenly last October, has taken over the former location and opened the new restaurant. It appears to serve Japanese-Western obanzai dishes with an Italian twist, along with Italian wine, sake, highballs, and other alcoholic drinks.

Final Thoughts
It opens at 16:30, which is a little early for a drinking spot, so it sounds like a great place to enjoy drinks and Italian-style obanzai from late afternoon! They apparently also offer a set menu with a one-plate obanzai meal and one drink.
