The gray and white canvas-like walls delicately spread out a small, refreshing square pond, bringing the lush greenery of a Silvery Messerschmidia. This Zen-like scene quietly emerges amid the bustling city streets. The delectable aroma wafts through the alley, enticing passersby to curiously explore: "If one turns the corner of the nest-shaped wall lamp, could it truly lead to a utopian paradise?"



By fusing the symbolic "nest" of the restaurant with Zen-like tranquility, we artfully present a peaceful dining area using stone cladding, wood, and water, integrating eco-friendly materials and elements from the surrounding natural habitats. We sought to convey the intimate relationship between nature and humanity via simple and rustic textures. Additionally, skillfully utilize modern techniques to recreate ancient screen walls at the storefront, along with the turning corridor at the back that provides the guests with a respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life and indulge in a comfortable and inviting dining experience.



The building is nestled in a charming, timeworn residential area, where its refined exterior stands in stark contrast to its surroundings. The elegant screen wall subtly announces the presence of the restaurant while cleverly blocking the view of passersby, enhancing the mystery ambiance of the place. Strolling down the corridor, the rustic textures of wood and stone catch your eye, perfectly embodying the brand image and deepening the sense of being in a secluded paradise.



The dining area features chef's counters, thoughtfully designed to accommodate the chef's height while dissolving the boundary between chefs and diners, breaking away from the typical teppanyaki style. Dining is no longer just a simple transaction but an opportunity for both parties to connect and converse over the meal, building friendships that foster meaningful ideas.
