The tairyo means good catch with a auspicious meaning to the word itself. Visual pleasant elements such as japan paper lanterns, carved windows, and sake barrel mostly large fish ornaments are seen in the corners or nook of the spaces.
With the idea of giving Tairyo a fresh iconic image, the owners request the designer to plan and design the restaurant into a restaurant that will leave a memorable impression for customer.
The designer combines "Japanese Dark Izakaya Style" and "Five Senses Experience" for the brand Tairyo Izakaya to create a branch at Penang Island.
To cultivate the immersive experience for the customer when savouring the delicacies, the light ambience is more to a subtle tone accompanying with the japan themed music, customer as if at japan izakaya.

Teppanyaki bar area
In Japan, teppanyaki is the highest form of dining in Japanese cuisine. Teppanyaki
cooking method is to roast the ingredients directly on a hot iron plate. These ingredients cannot be marinated and processed in advance but are quickly cooked and matured on a high-heat iron plate to retain their own nutrition and taste. Since the ingredients cannot be marinated and processed in advance, the requirements for raw materials are quite high. Teppanyaki is often made of superior materials and cooked instantly in front of diners by experienced chefs. In addition to satisfying the palate, it is also a special experience to appreciate the chef's cooking process.

Private Lounges
The 2 private lounges beside the Teppanyaki counter can fit in 6 diners each and up to 12 diners when merge into a spacious one room. The flexibility of the space is created with the japan inspired shoji screen texture sandwiching the plywood sliding doors to blocks out noises from the other rooms. This flexibility enables owner to arrange and plan, fully utilize the space.

This exclusive VIP room is divided with fluted glass sliding door that allows people to see shadowy reflection only, decreasing the sounds from outside.
