The cave-like restaurant “maison owl” designed by architect Junya Ishigami will open in the summer of 2021. It is a space like a “cave” created with the idea of “inviting guests to the chef’s hideout and spending time feeling romance.” It is possible to stay in the hideout only for one group per day.
It’s likely to be there for 10,000 years, and it’s likely to be there 10,000 years later.
Designed by architect Junya Ishigami “House & Restaurant”
The concept started in 2013 with the chef’s thought, “The weight of time is originally included, and the weight increases with time.” So far, he has held a large solo exhibition at the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art in Paris. It has been introduced in New York “Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)”, Rome, London, Shanghai, Tokyo, etc., and is attracting attention from all over the world.
“Cave x French x Wine”
It is a restaurant that invites guests to the chef’s hideout and acts French to feel the ingredients. The truffle-scented cave is a fascinating space that makes you more sensitive to food and wine. Original vessels and cutlery are also produced to match the style of “maison owl”. House & Restaurant where you can stay only for one group per day.
