Menu

Using a traditional style for Japanese cuisine that offers an omakase experience, Tara’s menu is minimalistic with a serif font. It has a clean layout with plenty of white space to enhance readability and features concise descriptions of each dish presented.

The term “omakase” translates to “I leave it up to you”, which explains why there is no description for their omakase courses. The purpose is to emphasize the chef’s creativity and their mastery of ingredients. Overall, the design and font choice of Tara’s menu is to create a sense of sophistication and simplicity.
