Ode, located in Hiroo, Shibuya-ku, is a French restaurant advocating gastronomy. The managing chef has put his thoughts in the name of the restaurant, Ode, which means a lyric poem, because he gathers the threads of Japanese tradition and aesthetics in his French cuisine as a story (poem). Stepping into the restaurant through the entrance door finished in mortar like the adjacent walls, guests witness the world of his Ode. First, you will see the service counter and the wall cabinet storing glasses waiting to serve you. Linear lights arranged on each shelf of the wall cabinet are reflected on wine glasses, creating an enchanted world. In the restaurant, integrated with a grayish tone of tiles and mortar, wood and other materials, there is an open counter with 13 seats, a semi-open room for six guests overlooking the open kitchen and a dining room for four guests.
