Shanghai Kitcho by mitsuhiro Shoji fuses Edomae tradition with Chinese cultural elegance
Set within the historic grounds of the Shanghai Exhibition Center, Shanghai Kitcho—designed by Mitsuhiro Shoji of UCHIDA SHANGHAI—reimagines the Edo-mae sushi dining experience through a refined blend of Japanese tradition and Chinese cultural sensibility.
At the heart of the space, a sculptural fan-shaped ceiling hovers above a curved hinoki wood counter, casting dramatic shadows and anchoring the composition. This element draws from the elegance of traditional Japanese motifs while referencing the scale and expression of Chinese aesthetics.
Two private dining rooms extend this narrative: one features a softly illuminated ceiling with washi texture, evoking warmth and tactility; the other is finished in silver leaf, creating a serene and reflective atmosphere. These spatial contrasts embody both cohesion and cultural dialogue.
Throughout the interior, materials were selected for their tactile richness and cultural resonance. Chinese-toned earthen plaster walls provide depth and warmth, while handcrafted ceramic tiles and Jingdezhen porcelain introduce subtle detailing that bridges craftsmanship and cuisine.
Altogether, Shanghai Kitcho presents a contemporary choreography of light, material, and form—delivering an immersive, culturally layered dining environment where heritage meets modernity with quiet sophistication.
