History

Prior to his culinary career, Tani, a native of Kyoto, worked sales for a futon company. He then worked in French restaurants in Kyoto and Tokyo. Afterward, he opened his own restaurant, House, in the latter city, "in a black-glass cube in the Nishi-Azabu neighborhood," in 2007. [4] [5]

In May 2023, Tani opened a second location, House Brooklyn, in Greenpoint. [2] Originally, House Brooklyn was scheduled to open in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic stalled Tani's plans after he had moved to the United States in 2019. His goal was to "open [a restaurant] outside of Japan, and cook somewhere that is more diverse and multicultural." [4]

Critical reception

Pete Wells, for The New York Times , gave House Brooklyn two out of four stars, labeling it a Critic's Pick. [2]
