Teru Sushi
Teru Sushi is a sushi restaurant interior in Kitakyushu City, Japan. The 95 square metre space was created by renovating an existing dining venue. Guests enter through a passage inspired by the tea ceremony, which builds anticipation before the main room. A circular counter stands at the centre and acts as a stage, so every seat offers a clear view of the chef. Earthen walls, Italian tiles, ash wood and ceramic tiles made in the Mino pottery tradition surround a polished stone finish. Lighting highlights the cuisine and the craft.
Teru Sushi Restaurant by Norihiko Terai was recognized as an innovative example of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Teru Sushi Restaurant won the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2025. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a highly prestigious international design competition which honors outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
