Hello everyone
How are you today ? I hope and pray, we are all always given health and also happiness in living this life. We know, in the life we live now there are always difficulties and challenges that we must face. As humans, we must fight and must not give up with all of these things.

I am also very happy, to be given the time and opportunity to share stories about my experiences and impressions of a building or landmark having an interesting design and architectural concept to discuss. One of the topics that I often write about is the design and architecture of cafes, coffee shops or restaurants.

As we all know, eating at cafes or restaurants is one of the common things in modern life. There are various reasons people don't eat at home, such as not having time to cook, wanting to eat with friends or partners, or being considered more practical and hassle-free.

There are various choices of restaurants that we can choose, one of which is a Japanese restaurant. The Japanese restaurant is known by many as a delicious restaurant with a very strong cultural interior. That impression is what I want to share with my friends when I visit Hapi Gyoza.

Hapi Gyoza

Some time ago, I went to meet my prospective hydroponic customer at the Cemara Asri Complex, Medan Estate District. I did a site survey, and talked until just before lunch. Finally, I said goodbye and decided to go to Hapi Gyoza, a local restaurant located in Komplek Cemara Asri, at Boulevard Raya no. 88 – Medan Estate District, Deli Serdang Regency.

The Cemara Asri Complex area is one of the largest business districts in my city. In this area, there are culinary places, offices and banking. People often say this area is a city within a city. Hapi Gyoza is in the culinary area of the beautiful cypress complex and you won't have a hard time finding this place.

All the shop buildings in the Cemara Asri Complex use simple and narrow three-story shophouses. However, this Hapi Gyoza Japanese Restaurant can give a different impression when we come to this place. One of the attractions of a Japanese restaurant, is the ability to combine modern and traditional elements of Japanese culture for the design and architecture of the building.

From the front, we can already see how beautiful and aesthetic the front of this restaurant is. Hapi Gyoza made and designed the front in a very strong Japanese style, we can see from the wooden ornaments used for decoration of the front. At the top, we can see the Hapi Gyoza logo combined with a brown wooden board.

Apart from that, the window and door designs from Hapi Gyoza really caught my attention. These windows and doors use a rectangular design with a semicircular corner effect. This window and door design style gives a minimalist impression, moreover, the chosen paint color is also a cream color which fits perfectly with the minimalist building design concept.

Interior Hapi Gyoza
I also entered into this restaurant. I've never been to Japan, but I really like watching YouTube videos about activities or activities in Japanese restaurants. One characteristic of a Japanese restaurant is the position of the kitchen which is at the front of the building.

In this narrow and elongated shop building, we will find a kitchen room in the form of a room when we enter this restaurant. The remaining space between the kitchen and the wall is only about one meter, and it seems to form a hallway or alley that looks minimalist, beautiful and aesthetic.

The kitchen area from Hapi Gyoza also looks very beautiful and attractive. We can see the arrangement of hiragana letters on display and combined with the capsule lanterns a la ramen restaurant. This combination of decorations gives us the impression and vibes like we are in Japan.

On the front wall, right beside the kitchen room, it is decorated using neatly and geometrically arranged wooden partitions. The wooden partition on this wall gives a natural or back to nature impression. The natural concept and approach to natural elements is an important part and also the hallmark of a Japanese restaurant.

We can also see natural or natural elements from the furniture used by Hapi Gyoza. Hapi Gyoza uses tables and chairs made of high quality wood with full varnish, thus maintaining the natural wood color for the chairs and tables. I like to see the selected furniture, simple and minimalist.

This Japanese restaurant only uses the ground floor, and to beautify the roof of this restaurant. Hapi Gyoza also uses partition wood elements for the roof ceiling. Apart from the wood, interior hanging lanterns are also used as decorations to beautify the ceiling of this room. As a Japanese restaurant from Indonesia, I feel that Hapi Gyoza has done everything with excellent design and architecture totality.

One thing I can suggest to beautify the interior decoration of this Japanese restaurant. I feel, the floor part of this restaurant is too ordinary and not special. For the floor so that it can be made more beautiful and minimalist, Hapi Gyoza can use vinyl with wood motifs or Japanese tatami motifs so that it further strengthens the impression of its Japanese style.

Toilet Interior

To close this post, I feel that the toilet part of Hapi Gyoza is also interesting to discuss. As a restaurant that is not too big and luxurious, I really salute it when I see the toilet section of Hapi Gyoza. I think, the toilet section will not get a touch of design and interior. Apparently, the toilet is designed to be very comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. We can also see traditional Japanese ornaments on display and arranged here.

I am very happy to be able to visit and stop at this Hapi Gyoza. I always like coming to Japanese restaurants because they can always combine culture and culture in every architecture.
