Edo-mae Sushi Dining
Edomae-zushi is a traditional Japanese style of sushi, which developed during the Edo period (1603-1868). Edomae-zushi is mainly nigirizushi, which is handled quickly by a craftsman and finished with a unique technique. It is simple yet delicate, with an emphasis on bringing out the best of the fish and the natural flavors of the ingredients. Enjoy our Edomae-zushi, which continues to evolve with the skills and sensitivities of our craftsmen while preserving the traditional style of sushi.
Matcha experience
The tea ceremony is a traditional Japanese art form that has stylized the act of boiling water, making tea, and serving it, and has elevated it to a cultural art form. In the tea ceremony, wabi and sabi, the spirituality of the tea ceremony, is expressed as the simplicity of taste, the serene atmosphere of age, and the movement of the mind that perceives loneliness as beautiful. In a simple tea room, hot water is added to powdered matcha in a tea bowl and stirred with a bamboo utensil. This series of actions is called “making tea. Visitors can observe the process of making tea.
Ukiyo-e folding screen making experience
Ukiyoe genius from Edo, which fascinated even the Impressionist mastersIn the late 19th century, Japanese art attracted artists in the West who were seeking new forms of expression, and Japonisme was born. Among these, the ukiyoe artist Katsushika Hokusai attracted the most attention. His bold compositions, vivid colors, and style of depicting nature, people, life, and ghosts had a profound influence on Impressionist painters such as Degas and Van Gogh, as well as on all areas of Western art.
