MK Guide Recommends
Tucked into a quiet basement on Kitashinchi’s fringe, Kuroneko feels like discovering a painter’s atelier of taste—seasonal, playful, refined. The “kimagure” concept—creative, free-spirited French cuisine—unfolds over set courses, blending Italian, Japanese, and Chinese techniques with market-fresh produce. Antique cat motifs weave through the interior as private counter seating and a small room frame a vibe that’s both whimsical and hushed. It’s the kind of place where the chef surprises you course by course, and the only dress code is open-minded curiosity.
