Shirokuro, a new Japanese omakase restaurant in NYC, features an artistic black-and-white design inspired by 2D storyboards. Proprietor James Lim, influenced by a similar restaurant in Korea, collaborated with artist Mirim Yoo to create an immersive environment where art and food coexist. The restaurant's hand-drawn elements, like the flooring and wall murals featuring Japanese icons, aim to transform dining into a vibrant visual experience, embodying the idea of a sketchbook brought to life through culinary artistry.
Stepping into Shirokuro, the new Japanese omakase restaurant in New York City, you'd be forgiven for thinking you wandered into a sketchpad or a black-and-white storyboard.
James Lim was inspired by an immersive, 2D restaurant he visited ten years ago in Korea, and he envisioned one of his own, now open in the East Village.
