im very dumb sometimes, and here’s an example - i forgot to open resys for tonight last week, and just realized it. so if you’d like to come in, we have completely open books tonight - it’d also be a great night to try to walk in!

BROWN FOOD SEASON Our house Japanese curry made with s&b, butter, and the juice from apples, carrots, garlic, onion, and ginger (it’s vegetarian!). The sauce is then heated with potatoes and carrots that are cooked nicely and leek white soubise.

This is a dumb way of making curry because of the amount of work, but being dumb is our collective middle name. We serve it with soft boiled egg, seasonal pickles, and steamed rice. It’s $12, and you can add fried tofu, lobster, grilled koji chicken or local fish katsu (pictured)

Available now until it gets warm again.
It’s $14 so really you should buy it.

Sake School! Three six ounce pours that change weekly, for $30. Add it on to an order or get it on its own - and join me on IG live Monday nights and we’ll taste and talk through it together! exploretock.com/bigking

Bonito Tataki with radish greens dressed with charred zucchini and local verjus. On the a la carte menu for $12.
Seventeen sakes by the glass, carafe, and bottle. All killer, no filler. Come get into sake with us.

A reminder to self that when you build a restaurant that is not for everyone, not everyone is going to get it.

Sprouting Tatsoi, one of the first signs of spring (at least in the greenhouses). Barely steamed and dressed with warm squash dashi and tamari. One man’s plainness is another’s shibui.

Hey! We think this weird #Providence place @bigkingpvd is terrific and strange and boundary-breaking, and so does our food critic. And, oh so does @nytfood. I think that means @foodandwine @bonappetit @andrewOknowlton should all come visit. See u soon! rimonthly.com/restaurant-rev…
