‘Fushikino’ is a mashup of two words, one referring to a Zen phrase, and the other meaning ‘mysterious’. Together, they suggest things that never before existed. The restaurant’s aim is to create something unprecedented, an unexpected culinary experience made possible through the trinity of food, sake and utensils. The menu lists familiar items of Japanese cuisine, but one-of-a-kind touches manifest in subtle details, such as onion soy sauce and aged ponzu sauce. Drink pairings of one cup per dish, served in sake cups lovingly produced by modern artists, are an entertaining grace note.
