San Francisco, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) June 28, 2011
Zen Compound, a multifaceted business that includes Temple Nightclub, recording label Temple Music Group, internet radio station ZCFM, and TV Production Department Temple TV, is now home to Ki Sushi. Ki Sushi is a sustainable sushi and izakaya bar in the heart of the SOMA district in San Francisco. Ki Sushi is a modern version of a traditional Japanese drinking establishment known as an izakaya, which that serves small plates to accompany the drinks.
"I was drawn to the izakaya concept, which is about Japanese tapas and small plates; it's almost like a Japanese-style pub," said Zen Compound owner and founder Paul Hemming. Wanting to maintain high-quality food in a nightclub environment, and still integrate his philosophies on sustainability, Hemming opened Ki after meeting with Casson Trenor, author of Sustainable Sushi: A Guide to Saving the Oceans One Bite at a Time. "Trenor was really intrigued by what we were doing by bringing sustainability to a nightclub concept, and he thought it would be the perfect vehicle to help expand his message," said Hemming.
Continuing his interest in fusing synthetic with organic and old with new, Owner Paul Hemming designed the space with a balance of futuristic and classic Japanese elements to create an "izakaya of the future" inspired atmosphere. The space was transformed with LED-lit shoji screens, geisha and samurai art work from UK-based graffiti artist Hush, known worldwide for his street-art-style blend of anime-inspired and pop art images. The LED's create a full spectrum of different color lighting options to change the mood of the room. Three large LCD screens are programmed with custom graphics of reinterpreted Japanese art, inspired by wood block printing.
