In the center of the restaurant, a stage measuring approx. 5.4 m2 has been erected, its impressive backdrop painted in the style of the famous Kano school. The restaurant interior also incorporates various elements of highly refined traditional performing arts that are Japan’s pride, creating a stylish and charming Japanese space. Décor also features antiques from the Edo, Meiji, and Taisho periods, while cuisine is served in and on lacquerware, serving trays, and other delicate yet gorgeous tableware. Forget the everyday and savor a time of relaxation in the Japanese space created by SUIGIAN’s décor.
Taking the name of Momokawa, a renowned traditional-style restaurant that gained fame during the Edo period (1603-1868), after 20:30 the restaurant transformed into the “Momokawa Lounge”, taking a lounge style. The “Momokawa Lounge” is designed on the concept of a salon “where people of culture gather to enjoy intelligent conversation, discuss performing arts, and occasionally engage in stylish play”, providing a cultural space. Guests can enjoy lounge-time-only original ochazuke (rice in green tea) and other specially created à-la-carte dishes as well as alcoholic beverages from throughout Japan.
It has been an honor for me, Hidetomo Kimura, to be able to open SUIGIAN, a cultural salon in a completely new,unprecedented style here in Nihonbashi, which has been a crossroads in Japan for people, goods, and culture since the Edo Period.
The restaurant is also located next to the Fukutoku Shrine, which has stood here since ancient times, and the site also saw the beginnings of the Ryotei Momokawa restaurant, which operated prosperously through the Edo (1603-1868) and Meiji (1868-1912) periods. In endeavoring to create a facility in keeping with the site’s illustrious history, I conceived the idea of making it a place for disseminating the attraction of truly authentic Japanese culture. Influenced in part by the impending 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, Japan is in the midst of a “Japan boom”, and there is much Japanese culture being disseminated that presents varying interpretations. Against this background, I decided to create a place where people could encounter pure, unadulterated Japanese culture that has evolved properly over generations rather than culture that has been transformed. It is now 12 years since I launched ART AQUARIUM, and within its growth I have encountered Japanese culture and achieved personal growth through its creative activities. Since this time has also been shared with the fans who have been supporting ART AQUARIUM, I would like for us to open this new door together.
Under the theme of “Tradition and innovation: creating while revitalizing”, we have prepared an extraordinary world that people will be experiencing for the first time. We look forward to welcoming and serving you with our heartfelt hospitality, and hope that you will visit and enjoy SUIGIAN soon.
