1) A space where you can feel the breath of nature in the center of Tokyo (by Kiyoaki Takeda Architects/Yard Works)
In order to express NOWHERE’s design theme of “feeling the mass of the earth,” we have installed large natural rocks “pieces of the earth” collected from all over Japan in the entrance and lounge.
The plants surrounding these megaliths express the diverse expressions of the earth, such as the large trees of the northern hemisphere, the landscapes of the arid zone, and the humid countryside. This is a place where you can feel the earth and think about the passing of time in a faraway place, even though you are in the center of Tokyo. Pieces of the earth NOWHERE
Installed inside and outside. The plants surrounding the rock (photo on the left) include plants that live in various parts of the earth, including a cactus next to a pine tree. A Yard that perfectly incorporates “NOWHERE” into the landscape.
Works.
This is a photo of the rocky mountains I went to Gifu and Kanagawa to mine. A space where you can connect with nature, spreading out under your feet. SANU’s brand color, orange, connects “artificial discs” and “natural stones.” Our wish is for you to become a link between people and nature. And the presence that proves the mass of the stone.

SANU NOWHERE, a place where you can feel the earth, will be joined by a food and beverage partner that is in harmony with nature.

COFFEE. We provide specialty coffee with an emphasis on sustainability and traceability, by working consistently from bean purchasing to roasting. During the pre-opening period, the store received such great response that long lines formed before the store opened, and the grand opening is now underway.
By optimally roasting according to the conditions of the day, such as temperature, humidity, bean density, and moisture content, we deliver a taste and quality that is delicious even if you drink it every day. -Menu excerpt-

・Latte 580 yen~
In addition to the coffee menu, we also offer food such as sourdough sandwiches made with natural yeast from convenience store Takahashi, as well as baked goods.

– SANBARCO, a local taco restaurant that feels like a popular cafeteria A restaurant where you can enjoy authentic tacos and natural wine inspired by the food culture of Ensenada, Mexico. It opened in 2016 on the Aoshima coast of Miyazaki Prefecture, known as a surfing mecca, and has become a popular “town restaurant” for surfers, tourists, and locals from all over the world. As we open our first store in Tokyo, we are receiving many compliments from all quarters.
Seasonal ingredients are at the heart of the taste of the tacos, which exquisitely combine the spice dishes that owner-chef Mr. Ogami has cultivated through his travels around the world with Japanese dashi stock. Just like in Aoshima, where the chef personally visits and partners with organic farmers whose growing environment and ideology resonates with him, we aim to procure delicious, seasonal ingredients from producers throughout the Kanto region.
Enjoy “unconventional” tacos in your everyday life while respecting local food culture and traditional manufacturing methods.
-Menu excerpt-
・Tacos (5 types: shrimp, mackerel, beef, lamb, vegan) from 550 yen ・Two types of pasta menus that are popular at the Aoshima store, starting from 1,780 yen
・Soup, salad, ceviche, tortilla chips, etc. made with seasonal ingredients A menu that utilizes local, seasonal ingredients, which Mr. Ogami specializes in, will also be added to the lineup.
