Kochi challenges the idea that tasting menus must be lengthy or overly formal, offering a more streamlined format anchored by an open kitchen. The concept nods to skewers: Kochi is Korean for skewer, after all, and they appear at points throughout the progression.

The approach is contemporary and approachable, with an emphasis on balance and presentation.
