The site locates at Kanazawa city, and it is a new Japanese confectionary shop where you can eat-in.
An old Japanese confectioner “Shibafune-Koide” is standing almost 100 years, and they decided to start new style of the confectionary eat-in beside of their main shop and old factory.
But for this shop we focus on only the very basic Japanese sweets call MONAKA, which has red-beams paste inside of rice cracker.
With Tokyo based graphic designer Masaaki Hiromura as a Director of this project, we dived into the red-beams world, and find out 4 of best Japanese ones for this shop.
In the shop, you can choose one of 4 different red-beams paste, and grill the rice cracker in front of you, and put it in the red-beams paste to the cracker.
We decided to use the old factory space where is no-more active (Shibafune-koide has new factory in other place), so we made new facade on the old factory wall, and putted in new box inside of the factory space.
