3 Michelin stars 2017views of Maruyama ParkHokkaido island ingredientswarm and friendly atmosphere
The floor-to-ceiling glass windows at the Molière, tucked away in a quiet residential district of Sapporo, look out over Maruyama Park. World-renowned French cuisine, executed with a deft touch by chef Hiroshi Nakamichi and the team trained by him over the last almost forty years, is served in bright, modern surroundings. His dishes pay homage to Hokkaido’s rich natural resources and their apparent traditionalism belies great skill in enhancing the flavours of local ingredients: roast duck with salsifi confit, Tokachi beef, herb-scented locally-reared lamb and carpaccio of turbot with seasonal vegetables.
