It is with great sadness that we share the news regarding the forthcoming closure of Zero Sun Restaurant in our building, scheduled for June 2024.
Throughout the last 27 years, Zero Sun has been a cornerstone of our shared experiences, offering moments of joy and connection for us all. We extend our appreciation to the dedicated team at Zero Sun for their commitment to providing quality dining experiences here at Momiji for so long.
In light of this transition, Momiji Health Care Society is excited to announce that a Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued to the public. We are actively seeking new and innovative restaurant operators who can bring fresh culinary perspectives to our space, continuing to foster a vibrant atmosphere for all.
