Twelve seats.
One counter.
The idea
Make the seat feel rare.
An imagined omakase counter: twelve seats, eighteen courses. One screen, nothing to skip, one way in: the reservation. A concept, designed the way we'd design yours.

Decisions
Why it looks the way it does.
01
One screen only
Everything a guest needs fits in one view.
02
A photo on the left, words on the right
Fish on one side, the promise on the other.
03
Numbers like a ritual
№ 01, 6:30 / 8:30. The evening feels planned to the minute.
04
Quiet on purpose
No pop-ups, no carousel. Restraint is the luxury.
