The Tokyo More, the tenth Tokyo chain restaurant, has become one of Vladivostok’s gastronomic highlights by presenting an original menu with a particular focus on seafood. It also amazed the residents of the city with an exotic building design. The two main building materials of both traditional and contemporary Japan, namely wood and glass, were used during its construction.

The Tokyo More restaurant, founded in Vladivostok in 2018, is a part of the Fusion Group holding company. Alena Nitsora, the CEO of the Tokyo restaurant chain, notes that the first restaurant of the holding company was established in 2008, while nowadays the network includes ten restaurants and one coffee house. This is the largest restaurant network in the Far East. The restaurant chain has 1,000 employees who serve 150,000 guests each month. The menu includes no less than 326 dishes, which are conjured up in the specially constructed commercial kitchen.

According to Nitsora, each new Japanese restaurant is unique in its own way, which is why the residents of the city look forward to the opening of the new Tokyo. The two-storied Tokyo More perfectly exhibits the architectural concepts of both contemporary and traditional Japan. Asymmetry, exquisite simplicity, using rectangular interior design elements, all of which are characteristic of Japanese architecture. Including structures made of wood, which has become the main material of traditional Japanese architecture. Hence the facade of Tokyo More, with its intricate wooden lattice composition.

A further reason for focusing on Japanese architecture when birthing the blueprints of the Tokyo More restaurant was the desire to fill the restaurant with more light. Thus, when installing glass throughout the project, the key objectives were maintaining low reflection, excellent solar gain and high light transmittance. The choice fell on Pilkington Suncool® 66/33 Pro T, a universal product with high selectivity which is equally well-suited for glazing both commercial buildings and residential units.

The total area of glazing is 500 sq.m.
