At the centre of the dining space stands a deep red acer, its branches extend and infuse the space with a seasonal beauty and harmony seen in Japan. The interior is a blend of traditional Japanese finishes and contemporary style. The dining area uses a mixture of natural materials, including stone and wood, and the zen garden consists of a stone lantern, silver gravel, water fountain, and Japanese plants and trees – emphasising the connection with nature, and it’s contemplation within Japanese interior philosophies. Black-stained wood accents bring a quality of warmth and sophistication, which are enhanced by the ambient light filtering throughout.

A round mirror is positioned on the feature wall next to the acer, a felt reference to the ancient ritual of autumn moon viewing, Tsukimi. The mirror reflects the soft glow of ambient light, further adding to the tranquil, reflective mood – a meditation on the mysterious beauty of Japanese tradition that underpins the experience.

The sushi counter uses the original wood countertop, reclaimed and stained to bring  it back to life. The bar front is clad with split-face slate tiles, furnished with elegant bar stools. The area serves a classical sushi menu.
