Virgin Izakaya Bar

Our task was to capture and reflect the typical style of Japanese izakaya bars — places where you come after work for a glass of wine and a snack that is prepared in front of you in the open kitchen.

Our mission was to preserve the current architecture and archaic elements of the building with a rich history as much as possible and create the Japanese conceptual space with its inherent authenticity.

Literally “izakaya” is translated from Japanese as “a place in a liquor store” where you can come and drink a glass or two of wine. Thus, we have created an atmospheric, conceptually complete space. Brick walls, rough wood, oxidized metal, bare concrete matched with the warm and pleasant atmosphere created by the right accent light and greenery is the concept itself.
