About
An extension of everyday life
A slightly special dish.
Convivio is a restaurant that serves course meals centered around regional Italian cuisine, making the most of seasonal ingredients and the bounty of the land.
"Convivio" is a Latin word meaning "to live together." As our name suggests, we value the opportunity to connect people, chat, and spend peaceful time together through cooking.
The menu changes every month, so you'll encounter new flavors every time you visit. Each dish is imbued with the chef's sensibility, providing you with an irreplaceable experience that can only be enjoyed on that day and in that season.
Interior
Flowing quietly
Luxury time
The interior of Convivio is a calming space enveloped in the warmth of wood and soft light. The spacious seating arrangement allows you to enjoy your meal and conversation at your own pace.
The simple yet sophisticated interior is designed to highlight the delicacy of the cuisine and to give you a feeling of both comfort and the extraordinary.
This space can be used for a variety of occasions, from individuals to families and groups.
Farmers
The attention to detail in the ingredients
From production
What we value is the quality of the ingredients that form the foundation of our cuisine. At Convivio, we source seasonal ingredients directly from trusted contract farmers.
Through our long-standing relationships with farmers, we select ingredients that are carefully selected from soil preparation to cultivation methods, and strive to create dishes that make the most of their freshness and flavor.
One of our culinary philosophies is to bring out the natural flavor of the ingredients.
Mita Chicken Garden (eggs)
Convivio's fresh pasta would not be possible without eggs from Sanda Chicken Farm. The eggs, which are carefully selected for their feed and have the natural power of nature at their best, are fragrant and rich in flavor. Their strength makes them an essential ingredient for the finest pasta.
Iizuka Farm (asparagus, etc.)
When spring arrives, we start to yearn for Iizuka Farm's asparagus. Fresh, juicy asparagus adds color to a wide range of dishes, from appetizers to pasta and main courses, enhancing their appeal.
Taka Farm (Noto Vegetables)
The vegetables grown in the red soil of Noto Island in Ishikawa Prefecture are rich and flavorful. The deliciousness born from the rich nature and painstaking cultivation adds depth to dishes.
Game Workshop Yamabiko (game)
I personally visited the area, spoke directly with hunters, and met the deer myself. I carefully select and deliver what I believe to be the most delicious venison in Japan.
Otaya Tofu Shop (tofu)
We source our tofu from Otaya Tofu Shop in Shibuya Ward, a local toy store, as part of our efforts to reduce food waste. We use okara (soy pulp) in our pasta and focaccia, turning it into delicious food without any waste.
Fujiya Wasabi Farm (Wasabi)
The aroma of Fujiya wasabi, grown in the clear spring water of Azumino, is an essential accent to each course, and its delicate yet rich flavor adds depth to the dishes.
Nanatomo (Ureshino tea, Saga)
To finish off your course, you can choose Ureshino tea from Saga. Nagao-san, a long-time acquaintance of mine, has been making high-quality tea with all his heart, from growing the tea leaves to processing them. The gentle aroma and flavor will envelop you in a peaceful post-meal moment.
"Ken's Farm" Organic Agriculture Partnership Center (Grapes and La France Juice)
Takahata Town is the birthplace of La France. Mr. Honda grows La France apples and grapes organically, without using herbicides, by simply mowing the grass. You can enjoy juice that tastes as fresh as if you were biting into the fruit itself.
Kamachi Pottery (plates)
Many of our dishes come from the workshop of Mr. Kamachi, a master craftsman of Arita ware whose products are also exported to Europe. These one-of-a-kind pieces, created through extensive consultation, enhance the beauty and flavor of your food.
MIFUKUAN (YUZUAWA Sparkling Yuzu)
"YUZUAWA" is a sparkling yuzu juice that won the Grand Prix at the Japan Food Selection. It utilizes local resources, using yuzu and natural water from Saga Prefecture.
The only manual labor required is weeding and pruning, and the yuzu are grown using natural farming methods without the use of pesticides, water, or fertilizer.With a refreshing aroma and pleasant carbonation, this non-alcoholic drink is delicious from the first sip.
It is because of these strong connections with producers that Convivio's dishes have such heartfelt flavors.
We will continue to listen to the voices of our ingredients and strive to create dishes that make the most of the bounty of nature.
