The restaurant's focal point is a six-meter-long solid wood table, which forms the front yard, backyard, kitchen, sofa area, and other areas when positioned and aligned at a 45-degree angle to the table's center.

Drawing inspiration from the veranda of a traditional Japanese-style living area, the entry is placed back to create a front yard that serves as a transitional point between the building and the street. Behind the thin metal grid façade is a surpruse waiting to be found beyond the heavy wooden door.

餐廳的核心，是一張六公尺長的實木桌。當以 45 度角對齊桌面中心時，空間開始流動，前院、後院、廚房、沙發區，自然而然地被形塑開來。這不只是家具的擺放，而是一種關於家的空間語言。

設計靈感來自傳統日式住家的「緣側」，入口刻意內縮，形成一處前院，讓建築與街道之間有了一個緩衝，也創造了一個可以停留的場域。輕盈的金屬格柵立面後，是一扇沉穩的木門，當推開的那一刻，內裡的空間體驗才真正展開，細膩卻帶著意想不到的驚喜。
