TUESDAY (two seatings)
TUESDAY — Sushi Supper Experience
(夕暮れ鮨)
Sushi Supper reflects the original spirit of sushi culture — a concise evening experience where guests enjoy carefully prepared sushi and seasonal Japanese dishes before continuing their evening. Unlike a modern extended omakase format, Sushi Supper is designed as a chef-paced 13-course experience lasting approximately 60–75 minutes. Each course is served in sequence to preserve the intended balance, temperature, and timing.
For guests seeking a more extensive dining experience, please consider our second seating Sushi Supper with 16 courses, or our longer seasonal experiences: Thursday Cha-Kaiseki, Friday Chef’s Sushi & Seasonal Washoku, or Saturday Chef’s Signature Sushi & Kaiseki.
Featuring 10 pieces of nigiri, one simple seasonal appetizer, soup (or another appetizer), and a small fruit compote to finish, this experience invites guests to enjoy sushi at its intended pace while honoring traditional technique and seasonality.

Tea Selection
Tea from Mem Tea, Ceremony, and WR originals
Dried yuzu, chrysanthemum, and gently roasted first flush matcha stems from a single estate in Yame come together to create a refreshing, complex caffeine-free cold brew that can be enjoyed hot or cold.
A Taiwanese treasure crafted through a unique collaboration between nature and craftsmanship. The tea leaves are bitten by tiny alphine bugs, which triggers a natural oxidation process in the plant, enhancing the tea’s sweetness and aroma. This meticulous process yields a rich and golden liquor with a distinctive honeyed flavor, complemented by subtle fruity and spiced undertones. Each sip tells the story of harmony between the environment and tradition, offering a cup that’s both complex and irresistibly smooth—a true testament to the art of tea-making.
Dried lavender infused houjicha-roasted green tea. Slow-roasted green tea from Kyoto is brewed with the soft floral lift of lavender. The houjicha brings smoky warmth and earthy depth; the lavender adds a gentle calm and aromatic brightness. Together, they create a soothing, balanced cup—comforting like twilight, quietly restorative.
Long-steamed Fukamushicha from Makinohara, Shizuoka yields a vivid, velvety cup with fine sediment and deep body. Extended steaming draws out round umami, gentle bitterness, and a lingering green richness—like summer rain settling into warm soil.
Unkaku is one of Marukyu Koyamaen's most beloved premium matcha selections, known for its naturally sweet aroma, rich flavor, and exceptionally smooth finish. Its balanced profile performs beautifully as both Koicha (thick tea) and Usucha (thin tea), making it a favorite among experienced matcha drinkers seeking depth without bitterness.
Beverage Selection
Limited non-alcoholic beverages to accompany with meal.
A locally handcrafted cola syrup made from 10 whole spices, oranges, lemons, and yuzu juice. Also made with real kola nuts. Mixed with soda perfectly.
Fermented tea soda made from black or green tea and natural cultures (SCOBY). Lightly sparkling, tangy, and gently sweet with a crisp, layered acidity. Unfiltered and live—crafted in small batches for natural complexity and freshness.
Alcoholic Beverages
Alcoholic beverages are provided by the bar at Foundation Kitchen and may be ordered during your meal.
