The name of the restaurant means ‘highest compliment’ or ‘apex’. The pinnacle of cuisine, perched on the top floor of a soaring skyscraper, is the concept here. The precepts of apothéose are a trinity: respect for French culinary culture; a deep spirit of inquiry into Japanese ingredients; and devotion to knowing the present moment. Meat dishes occupy the middle course, complemented by rice dishes to enhance the impression. Willingness to experiment, unconstrained by convention, ensures customers understand the joys of food.
