About Kanizushi Kato Sushi jatetxea

Kanizushi Kato Nisekoko (Hokkaido, Japan) sushi jatetxe bat da. Jatetxeak sushia, karramarroa eta japoniar sukaldaritza eskaintzen die eski estazio bateko nazioarteko bisitariei. Diseinuak Ainu herriaren ereduetan, japoniar dorpeetan eta Yotei mendiaren formean oinarritzen da. Bertako egurra erabili da diseinu osoan zehar, sabaiaren egitura bertako zedroz eginda eta barra japoniar zipresu solidoz, dorpeetako egurgintza tradizionalaren teknikekin landua. Igeltsuzko pasabide batek kamakura elur-txabola gogorarazten du, eta urrezko orriak estaltzen ditu gela pribatuaren sabaia eta zatiketak. Sarreran dagoen barra batean, bezeroek edariak goza ditzakete zain dauden bitartean.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: We were asked to design a restaurant in Niseko, Hokkaido, now a world-class snow resort, where international visitors could enjoy authentic sushi, crab, and Japanese cuisine during their stay. We knew that all of the dishes would be of great character, so we designed a restaurant that would allow visitors to enjoy a taste of Japan and Hokkaido, with stylistic design elements throughout the space.
Dimensions & Packaging: The walls of the BAR are painted with traditional Ainu tribal patterns. The wooden structure of the ceiling of the sushi counter is made of local cedar wood, and the counter is made of solid Japanese cypress. The walls are plastered. In the private room, gold leaf paper is used for the folded-up ceiling and partitions. The tables are also coated with Japanese paper with urethane.

Production Technology: We aimed for local production for local consumption by using all local lumber. The wood used for the counter tops is traditional Japanese woodworking used in shrines. The passageway tunnel, which resembles a kamakura, a traditional Japanese snow hut built to bivouac during snowstorms, is finished with Japanese plaster. The ceiling and partitions are covered with traditional gold leaf.
Design Challenge: Unlike a typical Japanese sushi restaurant layout, the concept of this sushi restaurant at a snow resort was to have customers enjoy drinks such as Japanese sake and Japanese whiskey. Therefore, we designed a layout with a waiting bar at the entrance where customers can enjoy only drinks. It was also difficult to integrate the sushi counter, private rooms, and other spaces with their own unique characteristics.
Inspiration: Our design is inspired by the rich tapestry of Hokkaido's indigenous Ainu culture, the spiritual serenity of Japanese shrines and temples, and the majestic presence of Mount Yotei, known as Niseko's Mt FUJI. The aim of this fusion is to create a space where international visitors can immerse themselves in the essence of Japanese architecture, culture, and cuisine during their short stay.
Project Duration: The project period is from August 19, 2022 to November 30, 2022.Located in Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan
