Our Guiding Principles

A flat lay of fresh, seasonal Japanese vegetables like bamboo shoots and daikon radish.

旬 (Shun) - Peak Seasonality

We believe flavor is dictated by nature. Our menus are a celebration of ingredients at their peak, capturing the essence of each season.

地産地消 (Chisan-chishō) - Local First

We champion local farmers and artisans. By sourcing directly from our community, we ensure unparalleled freshness and support sustainable practices.

Chef Kaito Tanaka

Head Chef & Founder

With over 20 years of experience in Michelin-starred kitchens in Kyoto and Tokyo, Chef Tanaka founded Shinrin Delights to share his passion for washoku (traditional Japanese food) in a more intimate and educational setting. He believes that every meal should tell a story.

"For me, cooking is a conversation with nature. My role is simply to be a good listener and translate its beauty onto the plate."
