LONGING ─ Tokyo Immersive Dining

In 2027, Kudan House marks one hundred years since its completion. Built in the aftermath of the Great Kanto Earthquake, the house has endured war, reconstruction, and the transformation of the city. Now, it becomes the setting for a once-in-a-century banquet. LONGING — Tokyo Immersive Dining is an immersive dining experience possible only here—a singular, unrepeatable encounter that weaves DAZZLE’s embodied performance, Hiroaki Miyata’s structure, concept, and text, and Mineko Kato’s culinary design together with architecture, sound, and the choices made by its guests. There is no fixed seating or stage. The audience enters as guests of the banquet and moves through the house. Across a century of hardship and change in Tokyo, people held fast to longings for joy, dignity, a place to belong, freedom, expression, and connection. Through “dishes of memory” and embodied performance, these longings take form. The words of the story are delivered directly into each guest’s ear. Even when guests witness the same scene, it takes on a different meaning depending on the voice each hears. Between a century of memory and a future no one yet knows, the question eventually turns to each guest. “Even if everything disappears, what will you continue to long for until the very end?”
