New frontier of Japanese cuisine

研ぎ澄まされた特別な一皿で、日本料理の新境地へ

HAKKEI is derived from the Zen word "HAKKEINAOMIGAKUBESHI ".
The teaching that "a gem that seems to be perfect should be refined and continually honed" is our attitude of constantly studying for heights and our insatiable quest to create new values and possibilities of cuisine.

HAKKEI's cuisine, which crosses the barriers of the existing "genre", does not lose its essence of fully utilizing the power of the ingredients and also greedily integrating new knowledge and view.
Based on the traditional techniques of Western cuisine, we combine it with the best part of Japanese cuisine, such as "dashi", which brings out "umami" cultivated over a long history, as well as "fermentation", "drying", and "aging".
We express the cuisine with the unique sensitivity of the Japanese.

The sea of Hyogo and the gift of the earth created by clean water and fertile earth.
With New Japanese cuisine which combines great tastefulness with unparalleled ideas, we want to deliver a time full of food experiences and expectations as we travel in search of a world we haven't seen yet. That is the origin of HAKKEI.

HAKKEIは、禅語の「白圭尚可磨（はっけいなおみがくべし）」に由来します。

「完璧とも思える玉も、たゆまず精進してさらに磨くべし」という教えは、常に高みを目指して研鑽を重ねる私たちの姿勢と、料理の新しい価値と可能性を創りだしていこうという飽くなき探求心をあらわしています。

既存の“ジャンル”という垣根を飛び越えたHAKKEIの料理は、素材の持てる力を余すことなく引き出すという本質を見失わず、かつ、新しい知見も貪欲に取り入れたもの。
西洋料理の伝統的技法を基軸に、長い歴史の中で培われてきた「うまみ」を醸し出す「出汁」をはじめ、「発酵」や「乾燥」、「熟成」といった、日本料理の粋を融合させ、日本人ならではの感性で料理を表現しています。

清らかな水と肥沃な大地が生み出す兵庫の海と大地の幸。
その大いなる滋味に比類なきアイディアを織り交ぜた新日本料理（New Japanese cuisine）で、まだ見ぬ世界を求めて旅するような食体験と期待感にあふれた時間をお届けしたい―。

それがHAKKEIの原点です。
