nese geisha, which has already become a trademark of<br />
this chain.<br />
Katsuya’s philosophy, in cooperation with Starck, is to provide<br />
an authentic experience of Japan, which is achieved<br />
by once again using a combination of traditional and<br />
modern elements that lead the contemporary guest closer<br />
to a literary experience of eating in a circle around the<br />
fire. That sort of combination simply craved for the hiring<br />
of an author like Starck, as it was required to work with a<br />
wide spectrum of elements from the fields of contemporary<br />
industrial design and interior design, in which Starck<br />
is established as a second-to-none figure. For example, in<br />
order to achieve a sense of closeness, Starck made a few<br />
decisions regarding the lounge bar, where he positioned<br />
low tables with plenty of cushions while using intimate lighting<br />
that, when combined with the already-mentioned artistic<br />
features on walls and the wooden elements on the<br />
ceiling and the floor, has further effect on the warm and<br />
cosy ambience. In general, the whole guiding idea was<br />
influenced by Eastern minimalism, and while talking about<br />
the experience of working on restaurant Katsuya, Starck<br />
has the tendency to say that he prefers the “monastic”<br />
approach to designing a lounge, and that he actually<br />
“created and equipped a monastery” while working on<br />
Katsuya Hollywood. It could be that the conflict of this<br />
principle with the previously described fetishist impulses of<br />
extreme sensuality is what makes Katsuya attractive and<br />
desirable to this extent.<br />
The basic restaurant information contain the following:<br />
out of the overall capacity of 180 people, 68 of them can<br />
be accommodated in the central room, while the darker<br />
Dragon Lounge, aimed primarily for enjoying cocktails as<br />
well as complete meals, can be filled up with 50 people.<br />
Guests also have two private booths at their disposal, and<br />
both of them can take up to eight people. The abovementioned<br />
entrance bar has enough room for 18 people,<br />
and we can also find the open section with 40 tables oriented<br />
towards Hollywood and Vine Boulevard.<br />
The food that is served in the restaurant is an original sample<br />
of Katsuya’s gastro-portfolio, which has been improving<br />
the offering of Japanese traditional cuisine in Los Angeles<br />
for three decades. Furthermore, the promoters claim<br />
that the very design and ambient “hype” of the restaurant<br />
serve as the “energetic addition” in the idea of Katsuya<br />
Hollywood, due to the fact that the entire basis and reason<br />
for the existence of the entire chain lie in Katsuya’s<br />
culinary skills. That’s why the abovementioned sushi-bar<br />
within the restaurant offers masterpieces of sushi meals,<br />
rolls and sashimi plates. Japanese grill Robata in Katsuya<br />
prepares meals such as steak with asparagus in spicy teriyaki<br />
sauce, as well as the royal (Alaskan) crab with soya<br />
butter and garlic. The cuisine’s main specialties include<br />
spicy tuna with crunchy onion and other meals that are<br />
mostly fish-oriented, and which feature attractive sauces<br />
and side dishes containing soya and miso-algae.<br />
Katsuya Hollywood, as another product of the recently established<br />
cooperation between several brands – cuisine<br />
master Katsuya, SBE management and Starck’s design,<br />
has encouraged the critics of the trend-setting Angeleno<br />
Magazine to come up with the conclusion that the experience<br />
of visiting this just-opened restaurant is “taking part in<br />
something that is very, very important”…<br />
