Specializing in toasts, this bakery is located on Gaien-higashi-dori Avenue in Tokyo. The store design is dramatic to show respectfully visitors a process of bread making. A sales area and kitchen is divided by glass wall with a faked-old copper sliding door. It is quite iconic and staff are coming and going through the door with and without freshly baked bread. Wainscot of a long counter is decorated by hemp ropes representing a wheat field. A top board of the counter is multi-functional and made of smooth stainless steel. Inside the shop along the glazed opening are there wood bench seating and figures sitting there are also picturesque.

(Page 75)



A bakery and cafe opened currently in HIBIYA FOOD HALL of Tokyo Midtown Hibiya. It embodies the arts and spirits of MOF (Meilleur Ouvrier de France) award-winning chef Jean-François Lemercier. Only this cafe of his chain serves dinner menu that includes selected wines, so customers can enjoy here casual meals. The environment was designed upon a theme of NY PARKSIDE COMPLEX DESIGN –classic and modern.
Atmosphere of Manhattan New York is something similar to Hibiya Tokyo. Floor tiles are residential and the limestone looks inviting as a area for food shop and cafe. Glass walls give a vivid feeling of people working there.

FEATURE ARTICLE 2/Sushi Restaurant

YON

(Page 90)



Combing sushi bar and bar parlor, YON is located on the third story of a building near Roppongi intersection, Tokyo. In this establishment, sushi chef serves as a bartender who is well informed about drinking with sushi. Particularly at midnight he shows himself at his best.
Entering a lattice door, you encounter refined bonsai. Through black lave stone porch and a tunnel-like hallway with silver leaves and purple gradation, you will reach a cypress counter. Ambient is noble, as is often case with such high end bar supported by craftsmen, quoting traditional Japanese tastes. A lot of sake bottles make lowered shelves behind the counter, screening your eyes to the people at the counter.

FEATURE ARTICLE 2/Sushi Restaurant

SUSHISYO SAITO

(Page 95)



SUSHISYO SAITO in Akasaka-mitsuke, Tokyo was remodeled.
According to the project designer INTENTIONALLIES, the establishment represents authenticity, panaches, elegance and evolving sense. You are to put off shoes to sit on roughly chiseled wood floor, then you open sliding door to enter a room with a sushi counter. The counter area is not sunken, which encourages communication between customers and sushi chefs. Walls and the ceiling are both covered with rice paper, depended upon a theme of “kohiki-no-utsuwa,” a kohiki pottery bowl and you feel like as if you are cocooned. Different kind of rice paper is also used for umbrella stock at the entrance and the storage door.
Small dishes for spice and handles of storages are all custommade and not that showy but elaborately detailed.
Designer : INTENTIONALLIES



FEATURE ARTICLE 2/Sushi Restaurant

Kaiten-sushi NEMURO HANAMARU Ginza

(Page 105)



Established in Nemuro, Hokkaido, kaiten-sushi Nemuro Hanamaru opened a new branch in Tokyu Plaza Ginza. A dynamic central lane counter makes you feel elation. As the lane is the most appealing element of the interior of kaiten-sushi, this project introduced custom-made high color glare-free down-lighting, to emphasize the gloss of sushi materials and to show up rotating sushi on dishes. Spandrel walls are low so that you can see staff working at the counter and in the kitchen. A colored mortar facade is stamped by fish nets and ropes. The entrance is seemingly narrow and you feel more comfortable once you enter the inside.
Designer : Machi Seisakushitsu
