Everything about this beautiful restaurant is utterly Japanese, from the cushion seats to the lacquerware to the chopsticks - except for the menu, which is Kyoto-influenced Italian. Scorpione offers three set menus (¥5,800-¥11,800) of extravagant, inventive and seasonal dishes, such as tagliatelle in stewed wild boar sauce and chrysanthemum risotto with fried oysters.
