an eveningwith jules.
Six years apprenticing in a two-star Kyoto kaiseki house taught Jules the discipline of restraint. He cooks the season the way it arrives — a single leaf, a broth clear enough to see the bottom of the bowl, a silence between courses that is not empty. Tell him the date. He'll tell you the plate.

“Between courses, nothing but candlelight and the sound of the fridge. It felt like being at a shrine we were somehow allowed inside.”
“The suimono alone was worth the evening.”
