Black Ship is a fine-dining Japanese and Korean restaurant with Robata and Hibatchi dining styles. The name of the restaurant comes from the historical voyage of Admiral Perry to Japan in 1853. His arrival in Edo marked the reopening of trade between Japan and the west in over two hundred years. From that point onward cultural diffusion between the two realms could no longer be prevented. Japanese Kanji, Korean Hanja and American typography are blended in the Black Ship branding, representing the three clashing cultures that influence the cuisine.
