About Teru Sushi Dîzayna Navxweyî ya Xwaringehê

Teru Sushi dîzayna navxweyî ya xwaringeheke sûşiyê ye li bajarê Kitakyushu yê Japonyayê. Ev cihê 95 metre çargoşe bi nûjenkirina xwaringeheke heyî hate afirandin. Mêvan di rêyekê re dikevin hundir ku ji merasîma çayê îlham girtiye û berî odeya sereke hesta meraq û bendewariyê ava dike. Kontereke gilover li navendê disekine û wek sehneyekê kar dike, ji ber vê yekê her kursî dîtineke zelal a aşpêj pêşkêş dike. Dîwarên axî, kaşiyên Îtalî, dara benavê û kaşiyên seramîk ên ku bi kevneşopiya seramîka Mino hatine çêkirin, li dora rûyekî kevirî yê birqok in. Ronahî xwarin û hunerê derdixe pêş.
