制作酱油的大木桶悬在顾客的头顶上，该店是由Kengo Kuma and Associates 为一个酱油制造商设计的，位于日本东京。Kayanoya 品牌拥有120年历史，天花板上到处都是圆形木桶，是由当地的手工艺者制造的，是为了可以承受十分重的液体。集中设计是所要实现的目标之一，在店内也可以感受不同的技艺以及日本制造商的能力。叫做Koji buta的木箱子用来装麦芽大米，这是酱油的一种原材料，把这些箱子堆放在一起形成的吧台，也用来展示其他产品。空间的中心是一张长木桌，用玻璃隔板隔开，室内的灯光装饰帮助照亮摆放在桌上的瓶子。

Huge wooden barrels traditionally used in the making of soy sauce are suspended over the heads of customers at this shop designed by Kengo Kuma and Associates for a sauce manufacturer in Nihonbashi, Tokyo (+ slideshow).The firm led by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma designed the soy sauce shop for Kayanoya – a company that has been producing the condiment for more than 120 years – and based the interior on the brand's original warehouse in Kyushu.The large circular barrels are hung from the ceiling all around the store. Made from cedar wood by local craftsmen, these are designed to be as strong as possible to hold large quantities of liquid.

"Community-orientated design is one of our goals, and in this shop you can experience the variety of skills and strength of Japanese manufacturers," the design team explained.Shallow wooden boxes known as koji buta – typically used for holding malt rice, one of the ingredients in soy sauce – are stacked on top of each other, forming counters and display stands for different products.Customers can pull out some sections of the handmade trays like drawers, revealing extra bottles stowed away underneath.

"Koji buta is a special wooden tray, and its design is highly functional and sophisticated," said the team. "We wanted to bring in an impact, so that these powerful utensils suddenly emerge in the town of Nihonbashi."A long wooden table sits at the centre of the space, screened by glass partitions, and internal lighting fixtures help to illuminate the bottles displayed on top.Wooden shelves filled with more products are flanked by additional panes of glass around the edges of the space.Japanese architect Kengo Kuma is best known for projects such as the V&A museum in Dundee, but his firm has completed several retail interiors in recent months, including a Paris boutique for Chinese lifestyle brand Shang Xia.
