Kaizen

• Location: Moscow City Business District, Adjacent to the Radiance Hotel.
• Theme: Historical, craftsmanship, discipline, mastery and power, catering to corporate elites and international travelers.
• Meaning: Kaizen translates to “change for the better” and symbolizes the balance between tradition and progress that defines every element of the club. This name reflects both the discipline of the past and the forward-looking innovation of the present, making Kaizen a fitting moniker for a space that invites guests to experience the best of both worlds.

Staff

Hosts and hostesses are available for selection, including gender fluid or non-binary with most such individuals are simply referred to as ‘hosts’ in that case. Serving staff are not available for pleasure or purchase. Hosts and hostesses that can channel are the most expensive company.

Security and cleaning are managed by independent contractors. If a guest wishes to “break up” with their previously claimed host or hostess, they should do so formally before requesting another. No host or hostess would ever “break up” with a guest except in extreme circumstances that would undoubtedly involve security.

Description

Kaizen is located in a narrow tower adjacent to the Radiance Hotel and Suites. Its exterior is an interplay of reflective black glass and intricate wooden latticework inspired by Edo-period architecture. The front is illuminated, casting patterns of light onto the streets, a cascading water feature flanks the entrance. Above the doorway, the club’s name, Kaizen, is etched in brushed-metal kanji.

Inside, stone floors are interspersed with panels of lacquered wood, while glass channels filled with koi wind through the space. A central koi pond bar, hewn from basalt is situated in the middle of the space. Along the wall, a grand bar positions mixologists clad in crisp black uniforms craft cocktails infused with yuzu, whiskey, and matcha.

The second floor houses the only full-service restaurant among the five clubs. The space features wooden tables made from slabs of reclaimed cedar, each polished to a dark, mirror-like finish, paired with leather seating accented with brass details. Private tatami rooms, designed for seclusion, are decorated with understated masculine elements—dark silk tapestries depicting fierce battles, shadowy mountains, and samurai in mid-combat.

The open kitchen provides the chefs’ display of skill, with robatayaki grills glowing like forges and chefs slicing fish with the precision of swordsmiths. The menu emphasizes seasonal Japanese dishes with nods to Russian flavors.

The third floor is home to the wrestling arena. The walls are lined with glass display cases housing artifacts from Japan’s warrior heritage—ceremonial swords, samurai armor, and intricately crafted tsuba (sword guards). Each piece is spotlighted with reverence, turning the arena into both a battleground and a living museum. Tiered seating wrapped in dark leather and iron accents allows spectators excellent views.

The fourth floor mimics an indoor courtyard with towering bamboo stalks rooted in stone planters and basalt water basins collecting streams that trickle down smooth rock walls. Here, guests can participate in traditional tea ceremonies or engage in conversation.

The top floor features floor-to-ceiling windows that reveal the Moscow skyline. A long bar of polished granite stretches across one side of the room, where bartenders serve rare Japanese whiskies, bespoke cocktails, and sake of the highest quality. Digital art inspired by ukiyo-e prints, depicting powerful samurai and dramatic landscapes is displayed on the walls.
