Our environmental and social efforts

Reducing food waste

We have a reservation-only, Omakase course, which helps us minimize food waste. For wine, we use CORAVIN to prevent spoilage and ensure nothing goes to waste.

Using sustainable ingredients

- We reduce transportation costs and environmental impacts by sourcing ingredients locally.
- We promote fair trade agricultural products and work with fair trade farmers.
- For cacao and chocolate, we use products from companies that engage in fair trade.
- We use meat and dairy products that consider animal welfare.
- We source seafood that is caught sustainably or farmed through sustainable aquaculture practices.
- We do not use any endangered species.

Offering vegan menu

We offer a vegan menu tailored to our guests' preferences. Additionally, we provide options for vegetarians, pescatarians, and accommodate dietary restrictions related to religious practices.

Community involvement

Hajime's owner, Hajime Yoneda, serves as a board member for disaster relief activities. He has been involved in support efforts during the Great East Japan Earthquake and various disasters across Japan. Additionally, he has negotiated with the government regarding compensation systems for the restaurant industry during the COVID-19 pandemic and currently serves as a board member of the Food Industry Association. Regarding local initiatives, he is planning a project to support issues such as unemployment, homelessness, and child hunger through food.

Our sustainability efforts

We use NORDAQ filters for our water and bottle it in-house, which helps reduce the issues related to plastic bottles and the environmental impact of transportation. We use reusable chopsticks instead of disposable ones. Additionally, we stopped using straws in 2020.
