Droit means “straight” in French, reflecting the core philosophy of owner‑chef Nobuyuki Morinaga.

Chef Morinaga delves into historical culinary texts, paying deep respect to the history and culture of French cuisine while elevating it into recipes suited to modern ingredients and contemporary environments. Each year, he travels to various regions of France to immerse himself in local food culture. Rooted in traditional French cuisine, he continues to create and evolve his dishes with a straight, clear, and precise sense of beauty.

The ingredients—sourced directly from producers across Japan, central markets, fishermen, and hunters—are prepared and aged by working backward from the guest’s visit, ensuring they reach the table in their finest condition. Each dish, layered with aromatic sauces woven from wine, butter, and spices, offers a deeply memorable and moving experience. Wine pairings tailored to the day’s menu are also available.

In January 2026, the restaurant relocated to the Institut français du Kansai (Consulate General of France in Kyoto), a cultural institution officially recognized by the French government and designated as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan. In this historic venue—where new exchanges, dialogues, and discoveries emerge through food, further deepening Japan‑France friendship—the second chapter of Droit has begun.

Please enjoy an extraordinary culinary journey within this beautiful building steeped in French elegance, savoring new flavors that embody the harmonious fusion of Japanese and French traditions.
