The historic old house in Shinsaibashi, Osaka has been renovated as a restaurant and a wine bar. Built over 60 years ago in a prime location in Shinsaibashi, this old house was the home of the 8th generation Kabuki actor, Raizo Ichikawa, who was a superstar at the time. While valuing traditional Japanese architectural design, we have created a modern, beautiful, and new space. The door from the end of the Edo period, and the wall is the mosaic tiles of Ito Jakuchu's paintings, the materials such as lattice, plaster that symbolize the beauty of Japan are combined.
