ESPICE is a modern French restaurant where creativity and playful spirit come alive, led by Chef Emi, who refined his craft at Michelin three-star restaurants including Auberge du Vieux Puits, Arpège, and Chez Michel in Paris and southern France.

Just a short walk from Sannomiya Station, ESPICE sits in a tranquil location and delicately expresses the essence of Hyogo’s delicacy through a modern lens. With seasonal vegetables from Kobe, and seafood sourced abundantly from Awaji Island, Akashi, and Kasumi Port—drawing from both the Seto Inland Sea and Sea of Japan—our Mediterranean-inspired modern French cuisine highlights the true character of every ingredient.

The space draws its concept from the origin of all food: the Earth. Embraced by its calm and refined design, guests are invited into a luxurious retreat that channels the breath and quiet power of nature. The striking glass-enclosed indoor garden evokes serenity and elevates the experience, offering a momentary escape from the bustle of the city.

Elevating each dish is a thoughtful pairing of wines curated from around the world by our sommelier, rare local sake from Hyogo, and original non-alcoholic cocktails—each selected to complement the meal with delicate harmony.

A multi-sensory dining experience awaits—one that resonates deeply with every sense.

Whether it’s a special occasion or a quiet moment in everyday life, ESPICE invites you to savor an experience that nourishes both body and soul—one of true indulgence found only here.
