Overview

A Japanese restaurant in Italy known for its precision and atmosphere. The dining space is dark, intimate, lit by ambient light bouncing off lacquered wood — the website needed to translate that exact feeling to the screen.

Near-black backgrounds, studio-lit close-ups of individual pieces of nigiri and maki, and a design system that gives every element room to breathe. The menu is presented as a digital experience, not a PDF list. Delivery integration sits seamlessly within the same visual world — no jarring third-party redirects.


Digital Menu

Every roll and omakase piece presented with full-bleed photography. The menu feels like tasting before ordering.

Delivery Integration

Order flow built into the site. No redirect to a generic aggregator — the brand identity holds throughout.

Reservations

Table booking integrated with a live availability calendar. Fills seats without the phone tag.

Japanese Minimalism

Every element earns its place. Generous white space, monochromatic palette, type as texture.


Technical

Custom HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. The digital menu is a structured JSON-driven component — the kitchen team can add or remove items without touching a line of code. Delivery and reservation integrations are embedded via iframe with CSS overrides to maintain visual coherence.

All photography is served at 2x resolution for Retina displays, compressed to WebP for fast delivery. The dark aesthetic means image contrast is critical — every photo was processed specifically for screen rendering. Lighthouse: 93+.
