About Ebisu Japanese Restaurant

It has a welcoming atmosphere and the Washoku world view is further emphasized by the Japanese garden which is filled with seasonal plants and flowers, and the interior decorated with Japanese traditional materials which creates a distinctly Japanese atmosphere. In a limited space, it is designed efficiently without waste. The highlight of this space is the area where the counter height seats are, which overlooks a large window. The space becomes one with the Japanese garden outside the window which in turn creates an air of openness.

Design Challenge: In a limited space, it is designed efficiently without waste.
The place mainly consists of a Japanese garden, three spacious guest areas (including counter height seats, semi-private rooms, and private rooms), a bar corner, a back yard and a staff room. The highlight of this space is the area where the counter height seats are, which overlooks a large window. The space becomes one with the Japanese garden outside the window which in turn creates an air of openness.
Research: Not only foreign tourists, but also Japanese people regardless of age have visited this place and indicated interest to Japanese traditional culture. Not only overseas visitors, but also modern Japanese people are having less opportunity experiencing traditional Japanese cuisine and atmosphere. Thus, this is a valuable place which is helping to protect, pass down, and develop Japanese traditional culture.
Inspiration: A Japanese restaurant which offers traditional Japanese dishes called "WASHOKU". WASHOKU is traditional Japanese culinary culture, registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. WASHOKU is a social custom of Japan which is based on the spirit of respecting nature. This place communicates the proud culinary culture of Japan to foreign tourists and the Japanese. It also acts as a place to pass this on to future generations.
Project Duration: Project Duration: From November 2018 to January 2019
Project location : Osaka(Japan)
Operation Flow: It is far removed from the bustle of city life and it is very quiet. The Japanese garden which has stones piled up on the wall are like that of a castle wall, plenty of seasonal plants and flowers, and a waterfall cascading down are following a traditional style. Japanese traditional materials are used everywhere in the interior, and in addition to the WASHOKU, guests will be able to more broadly and deeply understand the Japanese traditional culture by being in such an atmosphere.
