What Is Omotenashi and Why It Makes Japanese Restaurants, Inns and More So Special
"At Bessou I can feel true omotenashi: warm sake is quickly refilled when my cup runs low, and Maiko Kyogoku herself comes to the table to make sure my noodles don't get soggy in the simmering hot pot. After traveling around Japan she purposefully instilled the restaurant with that Japanese sensibility, so the service feels honest, anticipatory, and heartfelt." - Elyse Inamine
