Takigawa: a Minimal Sushi Shop in Fukuoka www.spoon-tamago.com

all photos by Hiroshi Mizusaki courtesy Case-Real ArchitectsAs dusk settles in, the lights flicker on at Takigawa, a new sushi shop that opened over the summer in Fukuoka.
A single lamp with the shop’s Japanese name – 多㐂川 – written in calligraphy glows and a noren with a curious illustration of a fish hangs above the entrance, welcoming visitors.
Architect Koichi Futatsumata (previously) created a ginkgo wood counter whose curvature is parallel to the facade, and mimics the shape of the small intersection, in order get the most out of the small space.
A bathroom set to the side and a kitchen behind the sushi chef are all concealed.
Takigawa is a 5-min walk from Yakuin Odori Station (the exact location is here).
