Chef Mitsuaki Okamura opened his own place in Fukuoka, but love of Azabu drew him back here. He sources his ingredients from Kyushu, owing to the strong relationships he has built with producers there. The shop’s speciality is abalone, served deep-fried, oven-baked or in pasta. Hometown dishes are all the more impressive for their simple presentation. ‘Piatto’ is Italian for ‘plate’, while ‘Mitsu’ is part of Chef Mitsuaki Okamura’s name, hence the name suggests ‘Mitsu’s plates’; his own style of cooking.
