This wine bar is located in Shinjuku and it has an open kitchen in the center with a U-shaped counter. People at table can see the open kitchen well to enjoy seeing cocking activity. The traffic lines are defined for both customers and staffs, so customers are to go through a narrow path near the kitchen, which makes anyone in this restaurant so exciting. The path is used as a cashier and backyard where they keep table wares and cutleries.

LADY BLUE
（Page 131）
This cafe restaurant is operated by Blue Note Japan as their new type project. The site is narrow, as the width is 36m and the depth is 8m. An open kitchen is near the entrance and a bar and dining areas are at both ends. Activity of cocks make the atmosphere vivid in the center and the passers-by in a business district can see the inside through glazed opening.
Lamps and art works with musical motifs look joyful. Cement boards are usually used as base material, but in this establishment, they, with cracks and uneven paints, show here a sense of agedness in this building.
