We passed by respected Japanese kaiseki spot Rosanjin this weekend and came across this disturbing, misspelled sign signaling a "temporary" closure. We peered over the screens covering up the windows and saw an empty room, save a ladder in the center. Was their transformation from set menu to a la carte not enough to keep the restaurant afloat? Or is there a problem with the space that needed fixing? The outgoing message on the restaurant's machine gives no hint of closure and Open Table has tables available from Wednesday on (Mon and Tues not available).UPDATE 2/2/09 12:30pm - A call to the restaurant confirms the closure is temporary due to unspecified problems and they hope to be open Thursday or Friday.
