Kenshō: Beirut’s New All-in-One Japanese Café, Eatery and Studio

A Japanese café, eatery, and wellness studio all wrapped into one, Kenshō is a must-visit if you want to tick a new spot off your bucket list this week in Beirut.

Kenshō is a Japanese term from Zen Buddhism, which means "seeing one's true nature". True to its name, this spot invites you to enjoy a little piece of Zen in Beirut, where you can grab a drink, treat yourself to a delightful Japanese dish, or stick around for a peaceful yoga class.

What's on the menu?

This new spot prides itself on its homemade Japanese delights, like the bite-sized onigiri bento and hearty donburi bowls. Their dishes don't just focus on sushi and sashimi, offering an array of staple dishes that will give you a taste of Japan.

The menu was carefully curated by Chef Alfred Chidiac, introducing Asian food lovers to lesser-known dishes for those who want to go beyond the popular platters and bowls.

What about the wellness studio?

Kenshō also houses a yoga, dance, and sound healing studio that focuses on mindful movement and inner balance, offering a space where you can recharge your body and mind.

They offer a variety of classes, including oriental dance sessions, laughter yoga workshops, sound healing, and much more. You can book your classes via WhatsApp by reaching out on +961 81 151 128.
