About Teru Sushi Dearadh Intí Bialainne

Is intí bialainne sushi é Teru Sushi i gCathair Kitakyushu, an tSeapáin. Cruthaíodh an spás 95 méadar cearnach trí ionad itheacháin a bhí ann cheana a athchóiriú. Téann aíonna isteach trí phasáiste a spreag searmanas an tae, rud a chothaíonn tnúthán sula sroichtear an príomhsheomra. Seasann cuntar ciorclach i lár an spáis agus feidhmíonn sé mar stáitse, sa chaoi go bhfuil radharc soiléir ar an gcócaire ó gach suíochán. Tá ballaí créafóige, tíleanna Iodálacha, adhmad fuinseoige agus tíleanna ceirmeacha a rinneadh de réir thraidisiún potaireachta Mino timpeall ar bhailchríoch chloiche snasta. Cuireann an soilsiú béim ar an ealaín chócaireachta agus ar an gceardaíocht.
