Our Story

Welcome to Hippopotoshi

Hippopotoshi started with a chef who takes food very seriously—but doesn’t think dining should feel intimidating.

Trained in some of the most demanding kitchens, he learned that true confidence doesn’t need drama. It comes from knowing your craft, respecting ingredients, and trusting that good food will speak for itself.

So we built a place where classic French cooking feels less formal, a little more playful, and very easy to enjoy—whether you’re here for a long dinner or “just one more dish.”

MENU

Where Technique Becomes Taste

Everything on our menu starts the classic way: 

stocks simmered patiently, sauces built layer by layer, and cooking done with intention, not shortcuts.

But once the foundations are right, we allow ourselves to play. A contrast here. A surprise there. Nothing loud—just enough to make you smile mid-bite.

The menu is kept short on purpose.
Every dish earns its place.
If it’s here, it’s because the chef likes it.
And yes—he eats it too.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Not Fusion. No Confusion.

We don’t mix French and Japanese traditions into something unrecognizable.
We let them do what they do best—together.

French technique brings structure, depth, and timeless foundations.
Japanese sensibility brings balance, restraint, and a sense of calm.

Think of it as discipline with personality.
Precise, but never stiff.
Refined, but not uptight.
Food that knows exactly what it’s doing—and has a little fun doing it.

MOTTO

At Hippopotoshi, we believe great food doesn’t need to shout.
But it can still be fun.

It simply needs to be crafted with skill, respect, and purpose—served in a space where you feel comfortable staying a little longer. ordering one more dish,
and already planning your next visit.
