黒牛と折鶴

Experience cooking with a reduced-pressure cooker, a rarity in the Japanese food and beverage industry.

The decompression cooker is used by famous chefs in Europe, including “El Bulli”, the “world’s most difficult restaurant to get a reservation”, and its greatest feature is that the air pressure and heating temperature inside the container can be freely adjusted.

By vacuuming the entire pot, it is possible to infuse the food with flavour without damaging it with heat.

When you cook meat and fish under reduced pressure, you can create new tastes and textures.
Come to “Lufu” to experience textures, tastes, aromas and freshness of unknown ingredients for the first time.

(The picture on the left shows wagyu beef cooked rare and soaked in kombu broth. This dish is only possible thanks to reduced-pressure cooking).
