SAKEBARO
SHANGHAI

In its vast 490m2 space, the restaurant features the world’s longest gold leaf cube sushi counter, made of 4,000 sheets of pure gold leaf and measuring 16 meters in length and 1.2 meters in width, and the world’s longest tin cube sake counter, made of tin plates. Japanese artisans intricately handcraft both gold leaf and tin counters.

We created a new social space in Shanghai’s Global Area. Through spatial and musical effects, two inorganic counters are transformed into a sushi counter and a sake counter, proposing a new way of expressing food and alcohol. The gold leaf counter symbolizes China, and the tin counter symbolizes Japan, showing the friendship and respect between the two countries.
