Join chef Shunsuke Inada in the production and sale of original bento under the fictional context of "a New Yorker, who falls in love with Kanazawa cuisine, opens the sincere yet misconstrued "TEI-EN" restaurant that offers new types of local cuisine from Kanazawa."
From the chef's peculiar viewpoint, the Kanazawa cuisine offered by TEI-EN comprises a diverse range of à-la-carte dishes, some that are frequently introduced as local cuisine to others that, while charming, are on the verge of extinction. Flavors undulate from fusions of international cuisine to unchanged regional tastes.
Furthermore, a survey on eating order is enclosed with each bento that asks participants the order in which they ate their food. The aim is to clarify how each person thinks or doesn't think about how they approach food consumption.
This project creates an opportunity to think about eating through a new dining experience that intentionally incorporates large differences in the types of food on offer.
In cooperation with: Sii Yudai, Enso Food Service Inc.
