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

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<\/a>, Thailand<\/a>, Tribute to elBulli<\/a>, and Sicily<\/a>. (Oddly, there seems to have been no official video for Childhood, so this footage<\/a>, uploaded by others, will have to do.)<\/p>\n

This is what the lucky first night diners were able to experience earlier tonight in Chicago.<\/p>\n
