About 2 hours away from Tokyo by the bullet train, Toyama is located in a beautiful bay and surrounded by steep mountains, both providing excellent and diverse seafood, produce and meat. The abundance of pristine water is also the secret behind the region excellent saké.
L’Evo is located out of Toyama, on a riverside in the forest. Chef Eiji Taniguchi works closely with local producers, fishermen and hunters to serve a cuisine dabbed by the Michelin as “avant-garde local”. With a solid experience in French cuisine, a passion for seasonal and local ingredients and innovative ideas, his dishes are full of delicious surprises. He even serves a shabu-shabu (hot pot with thin slices of meat to be lightly cooked) of badger. “One day, my friend hunter brought me a badger he found in his trap, so I thought it would be a nice way to serve it”. And indeed, the meat was unexpectedly tasty.

“I have a great admiration for Michel Bras, the way he kept focusing on his land and how he expresses local ingredients in so many innovative ways. For me too, the surrounding nature is my main source of inspiration and L’Evo stands for “evolution””.
