This project is a new store reopened by a chef who has been operating a Japanese restaurant in Ginza for about 20 years.

The interior design is a Sukiya style to reflect the chef’s personal fondness of tea ceremonies.

The area is divided into an entrance, a private room, a counter, and a seating area. The design and materials were selected to differ in the nature of the space, based on the aesthetics of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony room.

This project has been longlisted in the restaurant and bar interior category of Dezeen Awards 2021.
