A calm, minimal site for a reservation-only omakase counter in North Vancouver that sets expectations before guests book.

Sushi MAHANA is an intimate omakase counter in North Vancouver led by owner and head chef Yuki Aida, serving a seasonal, farm-to-table tasting menu in the spirit of omotenashi, Japanese hospitality.

What I built

  • A calm, minimal site that matches the precision of the food, with plenty of room for photography.
  • An Experience section explaining the omakase format, the price and the sake and cocktail pairings.
  • A dedicated Policy page, since the restaurant is reservation-only with a 48-hour cancellation window, so guests know what to expect before they book.
  • A CMS-driven news area and newsletter signup for special events, plus a site-wide notice bar for time-sensitive updates.

Outcome

A site that sets expectations for a high-end experience before guests arrive and makes booking straightforward.
