walls, which are covered in washi (handmade paper) in shades ranging from orange to deep red. These paper surfaces are lit from the back, which produces a sunset-at-sea effect.
The first floor features a large irori (sunken hearth), and guests gather around this to place their skewered fish over the hot coals. The wall behind the hearth is also covered with washi. A number of smaller irori are also located on this floor, with large doughnut-shaped blue partitions, which are deliberately reminiscent of life preservers, providing a degree of privacy.
The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and guests sometimes even exchange samples of grilled fish with diners at a neighboring hearth by passing the item through the center of the doughnut-shaped partitions! It is the sophisticated yet simple design of this restaurant that encourages this kind of friendly exchange and sets the tone for Chokyaku Yowa.
Located in the middle of a bustling shopping district, the restaurant has a façade that attracts much attention It resembles a fishing boat floating on a blue sea.
On the second floor, guests sit around a large irori, and roast fish and shellfish themselves. Large, blue donut-shape partitions separate each table.
The casual mood of the tavern attracts a lot of local guests who regularly visit and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. The design emphasizes the freshness and variety of the fish.
