Drawing inspiration from the essence of Japanese Zen philosophy, yielding a serene and captivating environment meticulously tailored for Japanese-style fine dining experiences. The ceiling is adorned with a bespoke combination of specially customized rattan weaving and wood veneer, boldly showcasing the intrinsic texture of these materials. Through a careful arrangement of varied heights, this choice evokes a rich Japanese sophistication. Meticulous attention to detail extends to the selection of solid wood tabletops for the dining area, where an innovative approach replaces conventional curves with diamond-shaped patterns through a special jointing process. Furthermore, the edges undergo kiln firing, resulting in distinct black edges that deviate from traditional forms, accentuating intricate textures and depth. For the space's facade, Italian special coatings are meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans to present rustic textures. Use of eco-conscious materials such as low-impact solid wood, wicker, earth plaster and eco-friendly paint in space design, we significantly minimize environmental pollution. Furthermore, LED lights are employed for lighting to conserve energy and decrease carbon emissions.
