Takenaka Corporation
The interior of the restaurant, designed by the Takenaka Corporation, features a counter made from 200-year-old cypress wood gifted to Araki by Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto. That counter is divided from the kitchen by a pair of green curtains, and the overall look of the interior is based upon the architecture of the Japanese Edo period. There are only fifteen seats – nine at the counter and six in a private dining room. The restaurant formed part of a £250 million redevelopment of the combined office and retail space at Burlington Street.
