This project is EMBER third restaurant globally that features this particular menu. Located in Shenzhen's central business district, it promotes the values of exquisite cuisine and the master chef's craftsmanship. Based on the deep understanding of the brand's essence, the design team conceived the restaurant in exactly the right way, with the expectation of conveying its modern Eastern spirit that exemplifies its presence in a globalized era.

The restaurant hides under a skyscraper in the clouds and is concealed within a densely layered glass wall. Its logo pattern is shaped like the character yan that resembles a Japanese family crest, showing a low-profile presence from the storefront's glass door and echoing the tree shadows. The natural greenery and the urban background of reinforced concrete create a mysterious and futuristic atmosphere. A black wall connects with the glass curtain wall. It abandons any fancy patterns or textured decorations, only with a gold and bronze-colored logo on it, to remind passers-by this place's fine cuisine and world of yakiniku hidden behind the steel panels. 

The interior space differs from the ostentatious and chaotic ambience of most yakiniku restaurants, as it combines an Eastern wabi-sabi aesthetic with traditional Japanese tatami rooms. Floor, walls, and tabletops are clad in gray stone materials. The space is decorated with semi-transparent gold screens and roughly-textured steel panels. These complement the wood veneers, fabrics, natural rattan and other warm textures embellishing the restaurant. 

The Zen waterscape and bonsai, irregular and unpolished stone sculptures as well as minimalistic ink-wash paintings emphasize the experience of an escapist mindset and concealed world. Subtle decorations and art pieces are interspersed with the space based on composition techniques of separating view, borrowing view and framing view. Beside the bar counter there is a concise yet powerful thick rock slab, with a lush pine bonsai placed on it. Objects in the space are touched by light and shadows, and carries the traces of time and a sense of warmth, hence endowing the space with a poetic yet lively atmosphere and natural vitality.
