After training at a Japanese restaurant in Kyoto, Tokyo, the owner opened his own restaurant "Oryori Miyasaka" near the Nezu Museum in Minami-Aoyama, where he has been practicing his craft for six years. In its 7th year, November 2021, it will start as "Miyasaka" in a new location.
Chef Miyasaka prefers to use fresh, seasonal ingredients rather than novel or peculiar foods. Furthermore, he sticks to traditional Japanese cuisine methods to draw out each ingredient's inherent flavor and seasonality. To accomplish this he seeks out the freshest seasonal ingredients that he can find from Toyosu Fish Market, as well as from producers all across Japan. In addition to that, Chef Miyasaka has a special penchant for white rice, the centerpiece of Japanese food culture. At the end of each course meal guests are treated to white rice that has been slowly cooked to perfection in an earthenware pot. And, at ""Oryori Miyasaka"" the chef brings in specially selected unpolished rice from Shiga that is polished on-site each day. The rice itself is cooked to ""Niebana,"" which refers to sweet and flavorful fresh cooked rice that retains a high level of moisture. As soon as the rice is perfectly cooked, it's served up right away so guests can savor and enjoy a full course of white rice and take in each layer of flavor that the rice has to offer. When it comes to drinks, Chef Miyasaka picks out each and every bottle of Japanese sake himself to make sure each drink is perfectly suited to the menu. He typically keeps a modest selection of Japanese sake, each of which are specially picked to complement the food.
When guests come to dine here there are only 6 counter seats and only private rooms that can accommodate up to 4 -6 people. The walls inside are a gorgeous wood-grain surface, and the tableware includes antique items as well as artisan-made modern pottery. These aesthetic touches help further highlight each dish served by Chef Miyasaka. He tells us that, ""I want each guest to be able to acquaint themselves with each dish and fully enjoy their dining experience here at the restaurant."" So with that in mind, Chef Miyasaka firmly holds onto that concept every day so that when customers come into ""Miyasaka"" they are sure to enjoy not only the food but the friendly atmosphere as well.
