Christmas Dinner 2026
The gifts of winter, from sea and land, on every plate.
A special Christmas you can experience only here.
A night just a little more special than the rest of the year.
At Restaurant ao, we carefully select winter ingredients
and bring together French techniques and Japanese sensibilities
in a special course available only this season.
Bounty from the sea,
ingredients nurtured by the land,
and
the rich flavors that winter brings.
Each dish reflects the character of this region and the chef’s vision.
Gaze out over the winter Sea of Japan
and savor a quiet, indulgent moment with someone special.
Experience a special Christmas found only at Restaurant ao.
