New Restaurant Opening: 'Nan Aoyama San San'

On September 9, a new culinary destination, 'Nan Aoyama San San', is set to open its doors in the heart of Minato, Tokyo. This exquisite restaurant is the first Japanese outpost of the celebrated Chinese brand 'Touzao', curated by a Michelin-starred chef from Shanghai. The venue promises a unique gastronomic experience that blends the artistry of Chinese cuisine with the seasonal ingredients of Japan.

Culinary Craftsmanship

The culinary vision at 'Nan Aoyama San San' is driven by renowned chef Tam Sze Yip, the first Chinese chef to achieve Michelin three-star status. He will oversee the menu, bringing the essence of 'Touzao', which received its first Michelin star in 2024, to Japan. The head chef, Li Yuxiong, a veteran in Cantonese cuisine with over 30 years of experience and multiple Michelin accolades, will ensure that each dish reflects high culinary standards.

The dining experience is designed to be immersive, featuring a counter where guests can witness the incredible skill of chefs like Song Zhihao, who specializes in dim sum and Biang Biang noodles, prepared right in front of them. This approach allows diners to engage all their senses, enjoying not just the flavors, but also the aromas and sights of freshly prepared dishes.

Concept and Ambiance

'Nan Aoyama San San' aims to harmoniously blend the techniques and aesthetics of mainland Chinese cooking with Japan's seasonal produce. This innovative approach to Chinese cuisine places emphasis on using local ingredients in a setting that accommodates only one reserved party daily, ensuring a bespoke dining experience. The focus lies on texture, temperature, and the intricate layering of flavors, providing a taste of “live Chinese cooking” as soon as the dishes hit the table.
