In our first blog post, we are excited to share the story behind the name of our restaurant, TORAN. Choosing a name that truly represents our establishment was important to us, and it all started with our beloved dog, Taro. Taro is a root vegetable that is commonly found in Asian cuisine, particularly in Japan. It is similar to ube, a purple yam, and is often used in various dishes and desserts. Taro has a unique flavor and texture that adds a special touch to any recipe it is used in. As our restaurant specializes in Korean fusion cuisine, we wanted a name that reflected our dedication to blending different flavors and cultures. Therefore, we decided to translate Taro into Korean, which resulted in the name TORAN. This name perfectly encapsulates our vision of creating a unique dining experience that combines Korean recipes with twists. Join us at TORAN and indulge in the delicious harmony of flavors that we have carefully crafted for you.
Names are more than just words. They have a story to tell, and TORAN's story is one that will always bring a smile to our faces. So, the next time you come across Taro at the restaurant, don't forget to give him a pet! Also, try out our special cocktail named after our furry buddy and are made out of Taro, Taro Ueno.
