Sun says the restaurant is unique and created not only to appeal to Japanese customers, but also foreign guests visiting Japan, who are projected to exceed 40 million in 2020 and 50 million in 2025, according to the Japanese National Tourism Organization. The photogenic interior design, experience-oriented dining and a colorful menu are designed to inspire guests to take pictures and share them via SNS, in an effort to spread Japanese culture－and particularly sushi culture－around the world.

The restaurant opens on Thursday, combining Japan's famously fresh seafood with the traditional techniques the country's sushi masters have inherited from the past. It also offers a wide selection of Japanese sake carefully selected from all around the country.
