In 2019, he opened "Le Signe" and in July 2023, he moved to Ginza 6-chome and opened "Ginza Restaurant Destina".
A sophisticated dish born from the mastery of production, distribution, service, presentation, and perfected cooking techniques, with a history of seriously considering carefully selected ingredients from around the world.
Identifying the essence of ingredients and cooking them using the best methods.
This is the cuisine that Chef Ueno wants to express at Destina.
