Le Gout breaks the conventional impression of teppanyaki by infusing it with the style of fine dining and redefining it as "French-style teppanyaki." The aim is to rejuvenate the brand by appealing to its existing high-end customers while making it attractive to young generations. To achieve this goal, the designers drew inspiration from elements of French cuisine: the creamy color representing sauces, stainless steel symbolizing the professionalism of chefs, and the material of reddish-orange rammed earth associating with natural ingredients. During the transformation of the brand, these endeavors aim to find a balance.
Teppanyaki, where chefs cook in front of guests, is a highly performative cuisine. Drawing inspiration from "immersive theater," five teppanyaki private rooms were staged, treating the teppan grill as a platform and the chefs as the performers. With each room placed along windows and cleverly defined by columns, the cityscape is framed as the backdrop of the restaurant. The inner kitchen is centrally located, with equal distance from all the rooms, allowing for quick supply and service for each unit’s individual needs.
