Yamagishi Yakiniku

The interior design of Yamagishi Yakiniku is inspired by Daidokoro (traditional kitchen), which is considered the place protected by fire spirit in Japan. Local people believe that fire can provide a source of warmth and protection from predators, and was an essential method for cooking food in ancient times. Thus, Daidokoro or Kamado becomes a place where fire and humans connect.

As one of the highlighted experiences is to grill Hiyama beef on the Yakiniku stove in front of customers, each table is served like a small Daidokoro to allow people to feel the heat of the fire and visualise the cooking process of their delicious food. The curve shape of Kamado, which is used to demonstrate exquisite craftsmanship and prove the social status of the homeowner, is applied to walls and ceiling to create a sense of fluidity and softness. 

Different from the bustling traditional kitchen, the interior tries to create a calm and soothing ambiance, allowing customers to escape from the rhythm of urban life. By using natural materials and textures such as clay, stone and tiles, while paying extra attention to the lighting ambiance and effect, customers can fully immerse themselves in a unique food journey.
