A new theatrical dining experience cross- over traditional Japanese cuisine.
The restaurant contains a “thirty people open dining area” and “eleven VIP
rooms” .The open dining area and stage like food bar were surrounded by
an illuminated up light glass walk path which made the centre stage as a
statement.
Natural bamboo ceiling feature with directional spot lights in a dark color
open ceiling is another dramatic element to the main theme and helps
drawing attention to the centre.
VIP rooms were visually connected through a wood frame sliding door
inserted with an engraved sandblasted glass panel of traditional fabric
weaving pattern. Combination of different shades of neutral warm tone
gives a rustic outlook while dark color wood made it contrasting. Natural
wood and stone finishes from smooth to heavy texture together with stage
lighting effect to create layers of color shade and depth.
