Yesterday, I shared with you a few rather enigmatic videos hinting at Next restaurant‘s Kyoto menu, which has its official opening tonight, and this morning, I posted a pic of the menu scroll itself, which had been tweeted by someone lucky enough to attend the test dinner.

But for those who want something a bit more concrete, here’s the video Next released today which explains more about the food (and the spirit of the food) during the latest incarnation of its ever-changing menu, similar to what was previously released for Paris: 1906, Thailand, Tribute to elBulli, and Sicily. (Oddly, there seems to have been no official video for Childhood, so this footage, uploaded by others, will have to do.)

This is what the lucky first night diners were able to experience earlier tonight in Chicago.

If having seen that, you want in, it may still be possible, but it’ll be tough. Every seat offered so far through the close of Kyoto on December 31 has already been sold. But if you pay close attention to the restaurant’s Facebook page and Craiglist, you might find either some resales or some last-minute tables offered directly by the restaurant.

Good luck!
