Waste Not Want Not at the Wafu Restaurant
Don’t imagine dining at the Wafu eaterie in Australia if you’re not going to finish your meal, you’re likely to be asked to stay away in future.
Diners are asked to keep in mind the quantity of food they order and to order just the right amount “in harmony with your appetite.”
The Wafu website explains Chef Ichikawa’s policy in clear and simple words: “Re-think what you use and waste!”.
The under-current of this approach is ‘Japanese cuisine’ ‘guilt free’, or to put it another way: “Wafu is not just a restaurant, it is an extension of Yukako’s personal ethos toward nourishment and sustenance. Wafu is the expression of an ethical and spiritual commitment to food.”
