A new chapter begins this June.
It is time to return to our roots.

Starting in June, Ritual will become 'ichigensan okotowari’, that is for members only.

A memorable journey

Four years ago, we created Ritual with a simple yet profound vision: to gather around the table and celebrate the art of food, the intimacy of shared moments, and the talent of chefs whose work transcends borders. Ritual is about transience and memory, about the kind of evenings that linger in the soul long after the last glass is poured. Over the years, Ritual has become a place where culinary excellence meets soulful connection. And it’s thanks to you—our most loyal guests and valued members—that we’re opening a bold new chapter.

Over the past 18 months Manresa offered us a home, but the scale inadvertently deviated us from our mission as we became more like a restaurant doing pop-ups, as we transformed into something more structured, and predictable. In serving 500+ guests a month, we lost the intimacy that made Ritual extraordinary. The demand grew, the numbers swelled, and in our effort to welcome more guests, we lost something essential—the rarity, the intimacy, the sense of discovery. It is time to restore what made Ritual special.

This is not a departure—it’s a return. A celebration of everything you loved about Ritual, now reimagined with more intention, more connection, and more of you in mind.

We will bring back the community tables, the mingling between members that creates authentic connections—those spontaneous conversations and shared discoveries that defined Ritual when it was an experience rather than simply a restaurant. We are incredibly excited to return to our essence with our dedicated members by our side.

Members Only

Ritual Membership is an invitation to experience dining at its most intimate, curated, and extraordinary. It is a return to what made Ritual special—rare, irreplicable moments shared among a select community who appreciate the artistry of food beyond the plate.

As a member, you will have exclusive access to private Ritual nights, immersive chef collaborations, rare wine experiences, and curated global journeys designed to deepen your connection to the culinary world. This shift allows us to create more intentional, deeply personal experiences—fewer seats, greater depth, and unparalleled storytelling through food.

Again and again, you’ve told us what made Ritual special: the intimate conversations sparked over unforgettable meals, the sense of community, the friendships forged through a shared passion for food, culture, and meaningful experiences. You’ve told us you want that space back—something beyond fine dining. And we’ve been listening.

April will mark the final public Ritual, after which only members will have access to this redefined vision.

What’s Changing

Starting in June, Ritual will become 'ichigensan okotowari’, that is for members only. In practical terms: we will run Ritual smaller for those who seek the extraordinary, and allowing for more time to:

  • Produce irreplicable experiences with chefs beyond the tasting menu.

  • Further culinary innovation curating menus and singular wine pairings.

  • Go deeper into intimate and immersive experiences tailored to our members.

The new Membership

April will be the last Ritual open to the general public. A new era of culinary experiences begins this June.

To return to our essence the new membership will expand its offering to include:

Members-only access to Ritual
Special moments with visiting chefs
Communal nights, and Ritual *new bar program*
Access to quarterly events in alternative locations in California
Winery day trips with visiting sommeliers
Travel & concierge services (Asia, Europe, Latin America)
