Jont DC: Tasting Menu at a Chef's Counter in Washington

Jont DC is a Washington, DC restaurant built around a chef's counter with capacity for 17 diners. Its culinary approach is based on an ingredient-focused tasting menu that highlights seasonal products selected from different parts of the world, with particular attention to the Japanese pantry, both land and sea.

A Chef's Counter Format

The experience is organized around a single counter for 17 people, a format that places the diner in front of the kitchen team's work. The restaurant defines its offering as an ingredient-driven tasting menu, that is, built from the raw ingredients and their optimal seasonal moment rather than on a fixed and extensive menu.

Seasonal Ingredients with a Japanese Accent

The kitchen combines seasonal products from different geographies with a clear inclination toward Japan, both in terms of land- and sea-sourced ingredients. This approach places the product and its provenance at the center of the establishment's culinary narrative.
