Briefly

Shirokuro, a 2D omakase restaurant in NYC, presents a unique dining environment designed by Mirim Yoo, who painted every detail by hand, creating a living artwork. The space mirrors the aesthetic of cartoon worlds, emphasizing black and white tones that create a 3D illusion. Influences from traditional Japanese culture, such as ikenobo and samurai swords, enhance the ambiance. Owned by James Lim, the restaurant's design reflects the meaning of its name, embodying the essence of 'white-black'.
