Élégant and may be very adapted for North, hum…. Maybe something there…

This is in Japan people… There is no need to make the building more "inviting"… It is simple, elegant and what it needs to be. Would've seen in on a mountain slope, slightly covered by some earth rather than in the middle of the streets though.

Oh and just to add, the building kind of resembles an igloo with it's icey white interior and entrances open to the outdoor air… doesn't that just make eating hot steamy noodles all the more enjoyable?!

I like this. It's not pretending to be anything that it's not. It's for eating noodles. It is exactly as the architect describes – the weather comes in, nature comes in, you can look at mt. fuji. so there is a carpark there, but it's not like you are paying for a seat in a top class, expensive resteraunt is it? so it suits. it's simple, and it's not pretending to be anything other than that, except it is simple with some beauty at the same time. The interior furniture is cool. Suits the purpose and concept of the building. It is gentle and complementary to its position.

I like how it looks, and the beautiful wooden furniture on the inside complements the stark interior. I have a Tak Yoshino (woodworker who made all the furniture inside this place) stool, and I absolutely love it. If I could commission him to do a whole room in my house, I’d do it in an instant!
