Stepping away from the bustle of KOBE, one enters a tranquil tunnel of branches—gently marking the beginning of a story. Inside, carefully selected timbers offer warmth and presence. A sacred log forms a bold bar counter, while magnolia roots float quietly overhead. Sliced wood adorns the seating, and a central DJ booth blends sound into the space. Anchored by firewood-grilled Italian cuisine, this extraordinary forest merges the memory of wood with modern sensibility, weaving a quiet narrative with each guest’s presence.
