The restaurant takes its name from a concept in Japanese mythology that is a red thread that connects those destined to meet. The thread can bend and be pulled tight, but it never breaks. This concept forms a key part of the decor of the space with a red ribon suspended on the ceiling that connects the two levels of the restaurant.
