Innovation and tradition are inseparable
—tradition is innovation perfected through time

At 81, we embody this balance through cuisine shaped by eclectic and esoteric influences from global art, culture, and music, while remaining deeply rooted in Washoku, the Japanese philosophy of harmony.

Every ingredient deserves profound respect. Our cuisine is built on sustainability, meticulous research, and cultivating meaningful relationships with the people behind our ingredients—farmers, fishermen, hunters, and foragers. To honor their life’s work, we personally connect with each of them to ensure every detail meets the highest standards before it reaches your plate.

Like an artist’s evolving work, our menu flows with the seasons, inspiring a heightened sensitivity to the delicate interplay between fantasy and reality. Here, food transforms into a vivid expression of what it means to be alive.
