This philosophy is reflected throughout every element of the dining experience, from the carefully crafted menu to the striking design.

Our commitment to environmental sustainability.
Here at Kosen, we are proud to announce our commitment to a zero waste initiative. This initiative encompasses a range of practices aimed at minimizing waste in every aspect of our operations.
Central to our approach is our in-house fermentation program, which allows us to creatively repurpose ingredients into a variety of components, including syrups, ashes, vinegars, and misos. These creations are thoughtfully incorporated into our offerings like our zero-proof cocktails. In alignment with our sustainability goals, we have eliminated the use of all single-use plastics and any packaging that poses a threat to wildlife. And finally, we collaborate with local regenerative farmers to source high-quality, sustainable produce, ensuring that our ingredients are both fresh and environmentally friendly.
Sustainable dining is the cornerstone of our restaurant ethos, and we believe it is our responsibility to promote awareness and engage with the Florida community in this vital endeavor. We invite our guests to join us in our journey towards a more sustainable future.
