"A neutral SoHo/Chinatown space was transformed into an intimate sushi den: guests arrived via a discreet elevator and passed through a branded noren into a central dining area ringed by paper-lined, bamboo-edged screens and warm white light, with candles setting a ceremonial tone. The layout and subtle staging—waiting foyer, bar, and a restrained reveal of the sushi counter—were designed to mentally prepare diners for back-to-back chef-led omakase experiences and to showcase thoughtful pairings of artisanal cognacs with course-driven storytelling." - Vox Creative
