The concept is a fusion of French cuisine with the bounty of Japanese foodstuffs. Meat is oven-roasted and smoked with straw; sauces are accented with bonito stock; and unripe pepper takes the place of black pepper. In the restaurant’s name, ‘haku’ suggests a pure feeling towards cooking, and ‘nei’ represents ‘meticulous’ work. Millefeuille de crêpes, a dessert crafted by patiently adding layer after layer, embodies that commitment.
