ご挨拶 Welcome to Chakura: A Japanese Vegan Dining Experience
『茶倉』は2012年12月、大阪・堺にて、開店いたしました。
日本料理店や創作料理店で２０年以上の経験をもつ料理人夫婦が営
Chakura was founded in Sakai, Osaka in December 2012 by us, a chef couple
with more than two decades of expertise in Japanese and creative cuisine.
At Chakura, we provide a haven for those seeking a plant-based dining
experience that nourishes both body and soul.
海外生活の中で、大自然、異文化、そして、
From our overseas experiences across diverse cultures, nature, and
cuisines, we drew profound inspirations, especially from yoga and
vegetarian cuisine. We embarked on a path of culinary exploration, delving
into the depths of plant-based cooking and embracing a lacto-vegetarian
lifestyle.
自分たちで美味しい菜食料理を提供できる場所があればという想い
Driven by a passion to share our discoveries, we opened Chakura, where
guests can savor the exquisite flavors of Japanese vegan cuisine.
「茶倉」という店名は、
茶の湯の精神である一期一会をもってお客様をおもてなしすること
The name “Chakura（茶倉）”—Tea House—embodies our deeply held belief in the transformative power of encounters. We wish to welcome our guests in
the spirit of Ichigo Ichie（一期一会）—a once-in-a-lifetime encounter—cherished in the Japanese tea philosophy. We hope that through
this encounter, “chakras” housing our inner potential nature will be
awakened amidst connections between people and with nature, deepening our
appreciation for the precious present.
「菜食和合」という言葉には、
心尽くしのお菜をお出しする私たちとそれを味わってくださるお客
そして、
主客一如、梵我一如の精神にもとづいた和やかな合一の喜びにあふ
The phrase “Saishoku Wago (菜食和合)”—Plant-based Culinary
Harmony—encapsulates our prayer for joyful unity between guest and host,
and between nature with its bountiful produce and those who cherish them.
We strive to create a plant-based culinary symphony where every element
rejoices in the spirit of Shukaku Ichinyo (主客一如) — oneness of host and
guest or subject and object — and Bonga Ichinyo (梵我一如) — oneness of
the essence of the universe and the self.
緑あふれる閑静な住宅街にある当店は、昭和11年に建てられた女
Nestled amidst a lush and peaceful residential area, Chakura resides in a
soothing space renovated from Miho’s family home built in 1936. Here
the quintessence of Japanese hospitality merges with the allure of a bygone
era, offering an oasis of serenity amidst the urban landscape.
夫婦で力を合わせ、丹念に工夫をこらして、
ベジタリアンの方はもちろん、
Together, we put our hearts into crafting plant-based dishes that delight
both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike, fully showcasing the true
flavors of seasonal vegetables. We aim to offer meals that allow diners to
experience the season, time, and the essence of the locale through all five
senses.
私たちの専心一意の菜食料理を通じて、四季の移ろいと大阪・
We warmly invite you to Chakura for a culinary experience where nature’s
flavors, the art of Japanese cuisine, and mindful hospitality come
together. Let us guide you through a delightful array of tastes, flavors,
colors, and textures that capture the seasonal beauty and the rich terroir
of Sakai, Osaka. Enjoy the essence of Ichigo Ichie—the unique value of
each moment in a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.
