Nestled in a quiet corner of Ebisu, “CKJ” is a hidden restaurant offering a fresh perspective on Chinese cuisine and wine. Owner‑chef Kenji Hayashi refined his craft at the renowned restaurant “Kasho,” drawing on the techniques of Hunan cuisine to create original dishes that showcase seasonal ingredients sourced from across Japan.

The cuisine is defined by delicate yet deeply layered flavors, crafted without artificial additives while honoring the five fundamental tastes and traditional Chinese cooking methods. Through meticulous preparation and precise heat control, the natural umami of each ingredient is brought to life, culminating in a course that reflects the beauty of Japan’s seasons.

Enhancing the experience are wines carefully selected from around the world by the sommelier. Thoughtful pairings with seasonal dishes allow guests to discover new dimensions of Chinese cuisine.

In this lively, immersive space, the chef’s movements, rising aromas, and the sounds of cooking all become part of the experience. Whether dining with loved ones or entertaining clients, “CKJ” offers a special moment in Ebisu—an encounter with Chinese cuisine enjoyed through all five senses.
