I don’t know about you, but I’m a big fan of niche cuisine restaurants. They’re like the musical sub-genres of the food world. And Tincan in London is totally the underground Japanese Ska. I would say it even rivals the Cat Cafe in uniqueness.
From a designer’s point of view, I’m all for it. Now, I’ve never been a particularly big fan of food that comes in tins, aside from the occasional can of soup. If you tried to get me to try Spam, for example, there would need to be a pretty clever ruse involved, otherwise you’d be able to find me across the street. However, the thought of being surrounded by hundreds of well-designed and eclectic tins of all shapes and sizes has me wanting to burst through the bounds of my comfort zone in favor of preserved seafood. Who woulda thunk it?
