"Edo Robata Kimuri" is a famous restaurant for more than 10 years in Japan, and has recently opened the first version in China, in December 2012.

According to the owners, the design requirements had to follow two special themes: 1. Taking inspiration in the movie "Kill Bill" , and the occidental angle to show to the world about the Asian culture. 2. The name Kemuri (meaning "smoke" in japanese), has to be represented along the design.
