As the name suggests, the foundation of this Asakusa-based restaurant is gratitude, reverence, and respect. Whether it is for the mentors who helped him hone his skills, the suppliers who provide fresh ingredients to his kitchen every day, or most importantly, the guests who sit at his tables, Chef Arai is filled with 'hommage'—the French word for 'tribute'—for all of them.
After apprenticing in Tokyo and France, Asakusa-born Chef Arai opened HOMMAGE in his hometown at the age of 26. His rapid rise in the Japanese culinary world caught the attention of the Michelin Guide: he earned his first star in 2012 and his second in 2018, landing his already popular restaurant on the covers of major national food publications.
However, Chef Arai has always stayed true to his roots. After all, it was his commitment to humility and gratitude that brought him to where he is today, and this remains the cornerstone of his cooking. His minimalist, Japanese-influenced French cuisine reduces dishes to their most essential elements, extracting the essence of the ingredients—what he calls the 'true beauty of taste.'
Simplicity, minimalism, and precision. Through these three principles, Chef Arai humbly invites guests from around the world to discover the essence of French cuisine through his perspective.
