According to a report by the New York Times, the restaurant’s owner, James Lim, was inspired by a place he visited ten years ago in Korea to create Shirokuro, which means “white-black” in Japanese.
It feels like stepping into a comic book; aside from the yellow-toned lights and a few colorful ceramic plates and beverage bottles, the entire restaurant is rendered like a 2D drawing.
The floors are hand-drawn with patterns resembling wooden planks, and the painted decor features plants and Japanese icons on the walls, such as bonsai trees, teapots, and cherry blossoms.
On the restaurant’s Instagram page, numerous posts showcase the design details, and users can’t stop praising it.
