Nihonryori RyuGin Opens in Roppongi

Seiji Yamamoto opened RyuGin in Roppongi in 2003 and used it to argue that kaiseki could be taken apart and rebuilt with modern technique without ceasing to be kaiseki - a position that made it the Japanese restaurant most often named on international lists. It has since moved to Hibiya, where it holds three Michelin stars.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
