Jinsei Journals Episode 3. New space. New menu. An intimate look into our new home, centered around live fire cooking. We have always been drawn to natural earth tones, and it was a no brainer to design it this way. It also mirrors the philosophy behind our food. Shaped by the sea and land, we are grounded in deep respect for what nature provides.
