Alter Ego, a celebrated Italian restaurant in Tokyo, has significantly impacted the city's fine dining scene since its opening in 2019, showcasing Italian fusion cuisine. The establishment's unique dishes, such as tajarin pasta and grilled minced duck, reflect a creative use of Japanese ingredients while paying homage to traditional Italian cooking. The evolution of Italian food in Japan, known as itameshi, began in the 1980s and has flourished into a sophisticated culinary genre, earning Michelin accolades that highlight this innovative fusion.
Alter Ego opened in 2019, its popularity prompted Japanese fine dining to more seriously consider Italian fusion, previously the realm of chain eateries.
We want to create Italian cuisine that can only be found here, inspired by both countries, serving tuna sashimi in a soy-based marinade with prosciutto.
