+81 is an intimate 12-seat Kappo dining experience set within a character building, seamlessly blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with contemporary design. The space unfolds as a journey, embracing the philosophy of ichigo ichie—creating fleeting yet profound moments.

A discreet entrance leads guests through a carefully curated sequence of spaces: the Kappo counter, an exclusive bar, a private dining room, and a listening lounge, each designed to heighten sensory engagement.

The interior reflects the principles of omotenashi, ensuring every detail—handcrafted tableware, refined lighting, and textural contrasts—enhances the dining experience. Shibui elegance guides the material palette, balancing raw natural finishes with subtle modern interventions. The result is a space that embodies bigaku, where beauty meets restraint, inviting guests into a world that feels at once timeless and deeply immersive.
