The discreet and efficient service adds to the harmonious atmosphere.
At the helm of the Jin is Chef Takuya Watanabe. A virtuoso in Japanese cuisine, Chef Watanabe orchestrates an extraordinary culinary performance.

The dining experience at Jin is as much about the journey as the destination. The menu operates on an 'Omakase' basis, a concept in which the selection of dishes is left to the chef's discretion. From starters to the main courses and desserts, the chef's choice promises a parade of subtle and astonishing delights. The exquisite dishes are paired with exceptional sakés, recommended by a knowledgeable sommelier. As such, it is advisable to make a booking in advance to secure a place in this gastronomic adventure. And if one is not too mindful of the price, the pairing of food and saké, ranging from €100 to €150, elevates the experience to a whole new level.
