Honouring Roots, Breaking Boundaries

Distilling the craft and soul of Japanese cuisine so that restaurateurs across the world can bring their concept to life through exquisite dishes served with impeccable grace.

A vibrant and appetizing array of traditional Japanese dishes beautifully arranged on a wooden table. In the center, there's a steaming bowl of ramen with a rich, clear broth, topped with slices of tender pork, green onions, and a perfectly soft-boiled egg. To the left, a delicate sushi platter showcases an assortment of nigiri and maki rolls, with glistening slices of salmon, tuna, and cucumber. A small dish of soy sauce and a mound of wasabi are placed beside the sushi. On the right, there's a bento box filled with various treats, including tempura shrimp, pickled vegetables, and a scoop of sticky white rice garnished with a cherry blossom. In the foreground, a pair of chopsticks rests on a ceramic chopstick holder, and a cup of steaming green tea sits beside the meal, completing the scene with a touch of warmth and tradition.

Transcending tradition for the tastes of today

Each restaurant we work with, from izakaya to Michelin establishments, has a vision for their guests’ experience. It may be contemporary, fusion, classical, or something new.

Hideki honours each vision, drawing on the skills and principles found at the heart of the Japanese culinary tradition to craft unique menus that delight all five senses.
