To scale greater heights in the culinary world, Hideyuki Shibata moved his establishment to Minami-Aoyama. The shop’s name is an amalgam of marge, French for ‘margin’, ‘frame’ or ‘blank canvas’, and the English word ‘merge’. Within its margins, mærge offers a fusion of people, things and ideas from around the world. Prix fixe menus bring together two distinct styles, both honouring traditional, classic French fare and incorporating fresh, imaginative aspects. Inherited French techniques and a modern sensibility merge within this restaurant’s frame.
