The restaurant was opened in May 2008 and only a year and a half later received a three-star rating in the Michelin Guide, the only restaurant in Osaka to receive that distinction.[1]
Hajime Yoneda is a graduate of Kinki University's Faculty of Science and Engineering and worked as a design engineer for a company making parts for electronic devices in order to save money for culinary school.[2] He attended the culinary academy in Osaka and later trained in restaurants in Osaka and Kobe. He moved to France in 2002.[2]
