ART OF NIPPON — Private Japanese Chef
Washoku, izakaya or sushi. Closed with a bowl of tea.
We accept one evening a month.
Philosophy
The order of the menu. The vessels. The pauses between courses. The final bowl of tea.
At ART OF NIPPON, every part of the evening is produced by Japanese. Not Japanese food as one cuisine among many — but the way it is done in Japan, by those who grew up with it.
Oshinagaki
Authentic Japanese cuisine, built on the ingredients of the season.
An authentic Japanese izakaya, at your table. Small plates and grilled skewers.
Omakase sushi. Your table becomes the counter.
Every course closes with a bowl of tea, in the Omotesenke tradition of tea ceremony.
The Evening
Date, number of guests, allergies and dislikes.
We propose a menu and adjust it with you in advance.
Ingredients, cooking, service and clearing — all taken care of.
The evening closes with tea.
Option
A certified Kikisake-shi (sake sommelier) chooses a sake for each dish.
