About Kanizushi Kato 스시 레스토랑

가니즈시 카토는 일본 홋카이도 니세코에 위치한 스시 레스토랑입니다. 스키 리조트를 찾은 전 세계 방문객들에게 스시와 게 요리, 일본 요리를 선보입니다. 디자인은 아이누 문양과 일본 신사, 그리고 요테이산의 형태에서 영감을 얻었습니다. 공간 전반에 지역산 목재를 사용해 천장 구조에는 홋카이도산 삼나무를, 카운터에는 전통 신사 목공 기법으로 제작한 히노키 통판을 적용했습니다. 회벽으로 마감한 통로는 눈 움막인 가마쿠라를 연상시키며, 개별 룸의 천장과 칸막이는 금박으로 장식했습니다. 입구에 마련된 바에서는 손님들이 기다리는 동안 음료를 즐길 수 있습니다.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

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
