Mon Restaurant Group is committed to a specific mission. Washoku For All - Our goal is for everyone to enjoy a wide range of Japanese traditional dishes and cultural experiences through our restaurants. Japanese cuisine, also known as Washoku, is more than just Japanese food. It includes ingredients and preparation, as well the traditional method of eating Japanese foods. Each style of Japanese food, such as Sushi and Ramen or Udon, has evolved over years.

Mon Restaurant Group employs Japanese chefs to prepare traditional Japanese dishes, and trains waiters and waitresses to provide Omotenashi, Japanese hospitality. We also use Japanese interior design methods in our restaurant to make our guests feel as Japanese as possible. Since 2013, Washoku has been designated a UNESCO United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. According to UNESCO Washoku refers to a social tradition that is based upon a collection of skills, knowledge and practices related to food production, processing and preparation.

This practice is strongly associated with a spirit of respect and responsibility for the environment, which is directly related to sustainable resource use. Washoku is often celebrated during New Year. This celebration reveals basic knowledge as well as the cultural and social characteristics. To welcome in the new year, the Japanese prepare many preparations.

They prepare special dishes and delicious meals using fresh ingredients. The dishes are shared with family and friends on special tableware. This practice encourages local, natural ingredients like rice, seafood, vegetables, and edible wild plant. Washoku basics, including the correct seasoning for home-cooked meals, are shared at family mealtimes.

The knowledge and skills are also passed down through informal and formal education, as well as by practicing them. Mon Restaurant Group aims to share the culture and experience of Japan as best we can. Washoku for Everyone is available at all of our restaurants. Each restaurant offers a variety of tastes.
