Most restaurants open with a vision of what they want to be and what might be achievable over time. A few manage to stay committed to lofty ideals despite operational challenges that inevitably arise. The general problems of the industry have been well documented, including staffing shortages, inconsistent supply-chain availability, and rising food and labor costs. No restaurant is perfect in navigating these issues, and none should be expected to get it right every time 👍
Oyster Oyster, however, comes exceedingly close without wavering from its unrelenting pursuit of plant-forward cuisine. From eschewing single-use plastic wrap to upcycling wine bottles into new plateware, it has become an exemplar in minimizing waste while adopting and maintaining sustainable practices, one step at a time. The restaurant’s ethos is hard to miss. A sign hangs outside this Shaw establishment featuring the pairing of an oyster mushroom with the oyster bivalve. Eating here, one learns that foraged and home-grown fungi are featured in the courses while oysters filter and clean the waters in which they reside. Talk about environmental matrimony 🍄🦪
But there’s no air of moral superiority in their work. Oyster Oyster is just purpose driven in presenting the gastronomy of local and seasonal food using mainly vegetables, plants, and mushrooms. The result happens to be delicious and thoughtful nourishment for both body and mind. From its opening to now almost four years later, and without the need to shout or evangelize, Oyster Oyster has demonstrated the tangible steps it takes to be better stewards of the planet 🌎
Change is often thought of as some sudden and forceful event. But more likely, it’s the culmination of small measures implemented over time. In this particular case, change is coming from the deliberate acts of one conscientious and transformative restaurant in Washington, DC 👏

2) Kyoto Carrots – smoked tofu, sauerkraut, rye flatbread 🥕

King Crab "Donabe" – koshiibuki rice, Périgord truffle, maitake ❤️
One of the best courses on the tasting menu regardless of the season. The high-quality Japanese rice is always precisely cooked. Coupled with delicious crab and mushroom, the dish transforms into something magical 🪄
