A casual sushi train during the day and sake bar by night, Kaito serves up traditional dishes with a modern approach. The brief was to create a brand and store that reflects its traditional Japanese cooking methods in a modern setting. The result is a refined, minimal and contemporary space.

The use of dark timber in the restaurant complements the overall vision of Kaito’s design and reflects the mood of dining in Japan’s hidden bars. Feature bulkhead frames are inspired by the simplicity of the Japanese lifestyle, extending around the perimeter of the sushi train.
