THE APOLLO
（Page 116）
THE APOLLO, Sydney-based Greek restaurant opened Tokyo branch on the top floor of Tokyu Plaza Ginza (see June issue).
Australian design firm George Livissianis created the environment, following the previous one in Sydney, mixing something old and new. A long marble counter is very impressive. The layout of the interior urges communications among customers. The interior looks chic and cool and balances refinement and roughness and representing steep mountains of Greek islands, kicking out the cliche blue and white banality.

AOMORI APPLE KITCHEN
Hoshino Resorts Oirase Keiryu Hotel
（Page 142）
Located in Hoshino Resorts Oirase Keiryu Hotel in Towada city, AOMORI APPLE KITCHEN is a buffet restaurant for hotel guests. As Towada city is in Aomori prefecture that leads Japan in production of apple, the interior design reflects such local color. Near an entrance approach, there is a so-called “apple cellar” composed of apple stock shelves, beautifying the entrance traffic line. A chandelier, based on apple trees, is decorated by 650 glass pieces handblown by local craftsmen. This glass artwork shows uneven coloring and shapes that make proclamation of the local natural beauty. Surrounded by green forests, the restaurant in a resort hotel shows harmony of modern and traditional cultural icons.

VINSANTE
（Page 153）
This project is in Setagaya, Tokyo, as a dwelling with French restaurant. The chef and his family live in the second and third story of the building. The architect is Shigeru Ban, one of most famous Japanese architects. The project uses frame construction, exposing wood columns and beams in and out of the building, without using metallic joints. Standing on the corner of the site, the establishment has two big sliding glass doors to view a pedestrian path. So it can be open to the outside. The back wall of the interior and bench seat used paper tubes. Chairs and lamps also used paper tubes. Motto of the restaurant is “ French cuisine by chopsticks “ and it is supported and beefed up by the architect’s design and magic.

LA CIME
（Page 165）
La Cime, located in Sankyubashi-suji Osaka, is known as a Michelin two-star French restaurant. The facade, inspired by a history of urban landscape of Paris, represents a feeling of France. Walls were finished authentically by plaster-craftsmen with organic materials mixed with coral powder from Amamioshima island, chef’s home province. The interior looks quite simple and minimum with high-quality furniture and illumination and the atmosphere is subdued, comfortable and luxurious.
Just like a game by chef’s fun, some symbol logos of the restaurant are concealed in somewhere.

FOCUS
Aeon Mall Tokoname TOKONAMENORENGAI
（Page 206）
This restaurant court is located in Aeon Mall in Tokoname city, Aichi Prefecture. The design theme is “maneki-neko”, a common Japanese lucky and Tokoname city is famous for its production of ceramic manekineko. Based upon a series of famous print “Fifty three stations of Tokaido” by Hiroshige, the interior environment reminds us of a post station in Edo era. Two main hallways stretch east to west and south to north with four gates for each end of the road. In the center of the court, there is a huge maneki-neko statue named “Otafuku” as an icon. Gabled roof looks dynamic and the atmosphere is vivid. Also, tiled-roofs, wood lattices, wood signboards, lantern signs, are attractive, showing up all the tenants in there.
