ABOUT FIND US ON RESY BOOK RESERVATIONS ABOUT THE RESTAURANT Honzen is a dedicated Japanese eatery that offers a journey back in time, celebrating the refined art of Honzen Ryori, also known as the elevated version of Ichiju Sansai set meal. This classical dining form, emerging from the Muromachi period (13th-14th Century), stands as a cornerstone in the evolution of Kaiseki cuisine. At the heart of Honzen Ryori is an exquisite balance of flavors, harmonizing the four essential Japanese tastes: savory, sweet, bitter and sour. Each meal is a carefully curated experience, inviting diners to savor the profound simplicity and elegance of traditional Japanese culinary philosophy. ABOUT THE CHEF The brainchild behind Honzen is chef-owner Jay Zheng and Partner Xuwei Zheng. Chef Jay was born in a small village in southern China where poverty was the common medium in the mid-80s. Growing up without the minimal essentials such as running water, electricity, or television, Chef Jay grew up to appreciate all the small things in life. Limited electricity means no refrigeration so Chef Jay would go to the village market every morning at 5 am with his mother to pick out the food and essentials to be consumed just for the day and every day after. Everything was essentially farm to table and growing up in that philosophy, Jay had a good understanding that quality ingredients doesn't always have to be expensive but made with care and love. Chef Jay immigrated to the US in 1994 where his father Kai, has been a chef in the states since the 80's and opened his first restaurant in 1992. At the age of 12, Chef Jay was immediately put into a restaurant environment and by the time he was 16, he had been taught all the basics to operate a restaurant business. Watching his father cook at a young age, Jay started to learn all the basic cooking techniques such as braising, frying, steaming, pickling and grilling. It wasn't until Chef Jay turned 18 that he ventured out on his own and a few years later, he landed a position at the 5-Star Peninsula Hotel in Chicago. It was at Peninsula where he was exposed to the world of fine dining and it blew his mind. Chef Jay started to hone his craft for the past 25 years and started to experience with different ingredients but also incorporating what he had learned from his father. In 2015, Chef Jay decided to leave everything behind and ventured off to the Big Apple, New York where he opened the immensely popular Japanese restaurant known as Gaijin and later in 2019 with an Kaiseki Inspired Omakase restaurant known as Koyo where he received the Michelin Plate award. After years of planning, Chef Jay wanted to bring his feel of home with Honzen, ancient elevated formal homestyle set meal originated in the 1300s and the cornerstone to Kaiseki Cuisine.
