Bentoteca Milano keeps un punching!
WE ARE OPEN: It’s strange to think that already a year has gone by since we opened Bentoteca. And we keep on being so - that is OPEN! Despite recent confusion, fake news and inaccurate information, trust our words: we will keep serving you our Japanese cuisine and we will keep the natural wines pouring.
Bentoteca was born during the first national lockdown in Italy back in spring 2020 and, like our colleagues, we’ve been fighting hard every one of the following lockdowns ever since. In mid-April last year, when we - Team Tokuyoshi - returned we started to prepare for the Bentoteca Pop-Up that was meant to be a temporary restaurant which would entertain our italian clientele. Not in our wildest dream had we imagined that we’d still be open for business a year later.
As Bentoteca stole the attention of many, Ristorante Tokuyoshi was rightfully deprived of its Michelin star, and unfortunately put in a coma - one of which it is slowly but surely coming out of!
We can not reveal more than that, but prepare for an exciting 2022...
Stars can be reconquered and formats can change. Restaurants open and close everyday and if Yoji Tokuyoshi had not had the courage to do exactly that covid might have wiped us out too.
The good news is that it hasn’t! We are ready to serve you Tuesday through Sunday for dinner and Thursday through Sunday for lunch too.
WE CAN’T WAIT
