This Korean-style barbecue restaurant is located near downtown Roppongi with a lot of competitors and the interior is based upon a concept of a traditional Korean residence, with a lot of use of paper, wood, earth, which remind us of naive and nostalgic atmosphere of Korean life style. A lot of logs were used, as a icon of the interior, to represent a roof of an old house and the logs were also used as a break-up-shaped lighting fixtures below the ceiling. A dirt floor is the central core of the interior environment and there are big solid wood table seating area and private rooms with the use of rice paper for both floors and walls.

After whole renovation due to its expansion planing, this
restaurant was re-born with black skeleton low ceiling that does
not look so low by the effective lighting. A standing sake-drinking
area near the entrance was designed like a self-made barrack for
the drinkers and the owner with the use of patchwork on the
walls. A big table with movable seats is impressive and four
drawer tables are functional to make the most of this small floor
site.

Koyama also would like to show children enjoyment of rewarding work. The interior is like a funny scientist's futuristic laboratory using robots.
