Chez Inno

Chez Inno: French Cooking, Tradition, and Creativity in Kyobashi

Chez Inno is a French restaurant in Tokyo’s Kyobashi neighborhood, in Chuo City. Its cooking continues the legacy of founder Akira Inoue, whose approach to French cuisine—focused on ingredients and open to innovation—has been carried forward for five decades. Chef Junji Koga currently leads the kitchen.

Two Settings at One Table

The restaurant has two distinct dining areas: a main dining room and a private room with a teppanyaki grill. Both are suited to a leisurely meal shared with guests in a more private setting.

Lunch and Dinner

The restaurant serves lunch and dinner, with à la carte options, a wine selection, and a bar. The website lists menus for each service and has separate sections for its cellar and bar.

Celebrations and Events

Chez Inno hosts weddings and private events, which are specifically included in its offerings. Guests can reserve spaces and menus for these occasions.

Team and Company

The business operates under the corporate name Yūgen Gaisha Chez Inno, with Kenji Itō as president. Its listed structure includes the executive chef, president, and dining-room and kitchen staff, whose names appear on the website. The restaurant also has a full-time dining-room position open.
