あじわう

Ajiwau or To Savor

Ajiwau:

To savor (the taste of something)

To fully experience or appreciate (emotion, beauty, a moment)

To relish slowly with presence

The Art of Savoring, also known as Ajiwua, offers an exquisite moment in time designed for you to fully experience a multi-sensory, six-course dining workshop. This unique experience invites you and your guests into an intimate and playful courtship with the very essence of your food. Through my gentle and guided presence, I lead you into the slow and deliberate unfolding of each carefully crafted bite, opening the body to experience your own unique spectrum of sensation and pleasure, attuning the senses to the subtleties of flavor, and awakening to a heightened state of embodied awareness.

Ajiwau is not just a dinner it is a ritual and performance be prepared to experience something new.
