白黒  ·  Japanese Omakase · East Village, NYC

Shirokuro

A living, breathing sketchbook where art and food intersect.

Our name

白黒 — shirokuro — means black and white. A color, and a way of thinking.

At Shirokuro, we didn’t just want to create a traditional Japanese omakase restaurant. Our vision was to offer something unique: a place where art and food intersect in a living, breathing sketchbook.

Every line on the walls is hand-drawn — no wallpaper, no printed graphics. You’re eating inside the drawing.
