An Immersive Art × Gastronomy Dinner Launches at ANA Crowne Plaza Kobe
Has the Era of “Tasting Art” Arrived?!
Japan’s first immersive art dining experience, “7 Paintings – The Art of Dining,” is coming to ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Kobe.
Wrapped in the worlds of iconic masterpieces, guests can enjoy a full-course dinner for a truly special evening—now beginning in Kobe.
Japan Debut! What Is “7 Paintings – The Art of Dining”?
What if the time spent “viewing” art and the time spent “tasting” cuisine could be experienced simultaneously?
“7 Paintings – The Art of Dining” is a completely new style of dinner experience that fuses immersive entertainment—now gaining worldwide attention—with gastronomy.
This is not simply about eating a meal, nor is it just about appreciating art. The stage is a specially prepared venue at ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Kobe. Here, guests embark on an approximately 2.5-hour journey through course dishes inspired by the worlds of seven great masters, including Picasso, Michelangelo, Banksy, Andy Warhol, and Salvador Dalí. It is an extraordinary, delicious, and exciting experience—an art dining concept designed to immerse guests in art through all five senses.
Savoring Fine Cuisine While Fully Immersed: An Artistic Dining Experience
The greatest feature of this dinner experience is that the feeling of being “inside a story” never breaks while you are dining.
On the tables, the worlds of famous paintings are projected using 3D projection mapping, while the walls and the entire space are brought to life through music and lighting. With each dish served, the atmosphere of the venue transforms dramatically. From classical paintings to street art, and from fantastical to surreal worlds, the continuously shifting scenes are nothing short of breathtaking.
Another distinctive element is that guests themselves become “participants.” Rather than simply sitting and waiting for dishes to arrive, the experience invites guests to engage with the world of art through simple activities and演出. With a maximum of just 32 participants, the experience offers a level of attentiveness and unity that is only possible with such an intimate scale.
Curious About the “Seven-Course Menu” Inspired by Seven Masters?
The experience features a full-course dinner priced at ¥21,000–¥23,000 per person (tax included).
The course consists of seven dishes, each inspired by the style, colors, and philosophy of one of the seven artists—infusing the cuisine itself with elements of art.
The first act opens with the serene spirit of the Renaissance, inspired by Michelangelo.
The second act presents a reconstructed dish reminiscent of Picasso’s Cubism.
The third act unfolds a Pop Art–inspired world reflecting Andy Warhol, followed by a fourth act themed around Banksy, delivering a strong social message.
In the final chapters, guests pass through Dalí’s surreal universe before reaching a lingering dessert finale. Over the course of 2.5 hours, the experience delivers the satisfaction of having finished an entire art book—cover to cover.
