We are so happy our team in Japan fell in love with the idea of Freda. Freda was Dean’s Jewish grandmother from South Africa, and the restaurants were named in her honor. Like her, like us- now team Japan is an extension of this ethos - that nothing gives us more pleasure than happy and well-fed guests. JWF is renowned for greeting everyone like family; team and guests alike. The menu at Freda’s tells the story of the dishes we know & love from our childhoods in Israel & South Africa, as well as New York’s food & culture- emphasizing bright, fresh ingredients and beautiful presentations. Our love for our adopted hometown is reflected in everything at Jack’s wife Freda, from our lively atmosphere, all-day dining hours, effortless ambiance and joyful sense of community. We are thrilled to see how our locations in Tokyo will carry this very feeling which is the essence of everything we do. We have a mutual understating with our team in Japan that guests come from all walks of life & all over the world, sitting shoulder to shoulder in our cozy banquettes enjoying breakfast, lunch, dinner or cocktails- defining the quintessential NY restaurant, where people gather to eat with family, friends, and strangers alike. A visit still invokes the age-old delight of people-watching in NY, and turns a simple meal into a special event. We have now extended that sense of family, that feeling, with our new family in Japan. Our correspondence has been beautifully aligned during the pandemic, & working closely with the team during this last couple of years has been a new adventure. It has definitely been a new way of opening a restaurant which is usually a very human to human process which you have to be there to touch, feel & taste. I would say that despite (or especially) with both sides not speaking the same language as we built our relationship and built these restaurants in Tokyo on the other side of the world during a pandemic - is a huge reminder that we are all one, & have more in common than we think we do. Communication over food is the most fundamental and primery connection ♥️ I guess whoever said food is the universal language of love knew what they were talking about!
