A rustic Japanese restaurant near Kings Cross station. This is what they say about themselves: "The Itadaki-zen restaurant was born from the need to provide a
source of food which integrates into a cycle of sustainability. The goal is to reach a state in which the restaurant can self-produce its own vegetables following farming methods which are themselves sustainable for the wider ecosystem. Our Cuisine favors the use of organic ingredients and tries to employ only seasonable grown vegetables. Itadaki means 'to take the food life' zen means 'to fix, to mend'. The primary end of the Itadaki-zen cuisine is not merely an agreeable taste, but its healing qualities. Rice, root vegetables, seaweeds, soya beans and byproducts, are recurrent ingredients in our cuisine because deemed to be essential for a sanitary and strong metabolism. Slow food characterizes the cuisine preparation, reflecting appreciation and care in the making of each dish. Food is always prepared with traditionally harvested Korean and French sea salt."
