Production Technology

Based on the detailed design, He utilized an excellent network of constructers. A precious wood craftsman who handles the distribution and processing of the massive Hinoki(Japanese cypress),a plasterer who has a high level of skill for each part, a mason who finishes the material uniquely,and a craftsman with the skills to handle and paste handmade Japanese paper. The project was successfully completed by gathering many highly skilled craftsmen and their extraordinary techniques.

Design Challenge

The challenge was to refine the immersivity of the traditional sushi and to design it in such large space.Especially at the sushi counter, He adjusted the height of the floor so that the customers and chef can share a similar view, setting each counter to suit the purpose. Furthermore, to reduce noise in the customer's view, a frameless glass showcase made of highly transparent glass was half-embedded in the counter. This restaurant was designed with such details in consideration.

Project Duration

Design began in April 2006, construction began in January 2007, and was completed in May 2007 in Tsukiji Tokyo, neighbor of former central fish market.

Operation Flow

Customers come for chef’s skilled dishes, high-quality ingredients,and a space where they can enjoy them.Especially atthe sushi counter, instead of choosing from the menu,customers can choose fromthe seasonal seafoodin front of them, interacting with the chef to customize adish.Sushi culture is not only enjoying the conversation about sushi, but also conversing about the season, crafted wares, brewed sake, and more.This is exactly what this space is for.

Research

In order to design the optimal interactive environment between customers and the sushi, He conducted research and repeated prototypes to understand and refine the relationship between the customers and the chef at the sushi counter space.In particular, He researched the visibility and dimensions, such as the height gap of the viewpoint between seated customers and standing chef. Also, He thoroughly looked into the chef's behavior and also the size of glass showcases and where to place them.

Inspiration

The goal of this project was to design a sophisticated space which can be passed on to the future, a place where people can enjoy chef's traditional skills and sushi etiquette of Edomae sushi, one of the roots of sushi culture. In order to achieve that goal, Hiroaki Iwasa was inspired by researching the basic behavior and preparations of chef, relationships with customers, meal etiquette, modern services and backyards.
