NIM

NIM is a highly acclaimed French restaurant in Takayama, Gifu, recognized as a Tabelog French Hyakumeiten (2025) and a Gault & Millau 3-toque recipient for three consecutive years. Opened in March 2022, it's housed in a beautifully renovated 130-year-old traditional earthen warehouse, blending modern design with rustic charm. Chef Yamato, formerly of Ogikubo Valinore, crafts creative and unique dishes that showcase seasonal ingredients from Hida Takayama, transcending traditional French boundaries. The restaurant operates on a strict reservation-only basis, often limited to just two groups per day for an intimate dining experience. It features 10 table seats and a private room for up to four guests. Guests are advised to avoid overly casual attire. Parking is available, and corkage is permitted for wine and champagne with prior arrangement.
