Opened in July 2011, Les Chanterelles is a new favorite eaterie in Tokyo for Robbie Swinnerton as his review Mushrooms and much more in Moto-Yoyogi (Tokyo Food File, November 7) shows.
Black truffles are part of the fungi used by owner-chef Yusuke Nakada who Robbie notes honed his skills in stints at many reputed spots including a seven-year tenure at L’Artemis in Harajuku before flying solo.
Pine cones as place card holders add a rustic touch to this urban oasis.
