项目 – 在东京晴空街区的核心地带，一个全新的美食胜地正在重新定义调味艺术。GURUGURU SHAKASHAKA，这家由Torafu Architects设计的专业盐品店，将零售体验与互动美食学巧妙融合。这个50平方米的转角空间紧邻其姐妹店"立吃梅干屋"，邀请顾客在一个既实用又视觉震撼的环境中探索盐的广阔世界。

店铺的核心是一个宏大的L形柜台，战略性地布置以便从两个方向欢迎访客。在这里，顾客可以踏上一段感官之旅，一边在蓝色琼脂立方体上品尝各种盐，一边创造专属的盐混合物——这是对这种基本矿物质受海洋影响的巧妙隐喻。

柜台后方，令人目眩的600种混合盐的展示装饰面将墙壁变成了一个味道图书馆，既方便咨询，又展示了店铺广泛的产品范围。内部的色彩方案灵感来自盐本身，蓝染椴木胶合板装饰的固定装置唤起了结晶沉积物和深海的意象。

一个经过重新设计的理发店招牌被巧妙地改造成旋转的中心装置，突出展示原创盐混合物和相关产品，为空间增添了俏皮的一笔。而手绘插图中的店铺吉祥物"GURUGURU"和"SHAKASHAKA"为空间注入了魅力和个性。

设计的点睛之笔是霓虹"盐"字招牌，与邻近的梅干店的"梅"字招牌形成了视觉对话。这个深思熟虑的细节不仅提升了品牌辨识度，还将GURUGURU SHAKASHAKA确立为东京美食版图上的必访之地——在各方面成为一个真正物有所值的空间。

Project - In the heart of Tokyo Solamachi, a new culinary destination is redefining the art of seasoning. GURUGURU SHAKASHAKA, a specialty salt shop designed by Torafu Architects, offers a unique blend of retail experience and interactive gastronomy. This 50㎡ corner space, adjacent to its sister store TACHIGUI UMEBOSHI YA, invites patrons to explore the vast world of salt in a setting that is both functional and visually striking.

The shop's centerpiece is an expansive L-shaped counter, strategically positioned to welcome visitors from two directions. Here, customers can embark on a sensory journey, creating bespoke salt blends while sampling varieties on blue agar cubes – a nod to the sea's influence on this essential mineral.

Behind the counter, a mesmerizing display of 600 blended salts transforms the wall into a library of flavors, facilitating efficient consultations while showcasing the shop's extensive range. The interior's color palette draws inspiration from salt itself, with fixtures adorned in blue-dyed linden plywood, evoking images of crystalline deposits and ocean depths.

A playful touch comes in the form of a customized barber sign, reimagined as a rotating centerpiece that highlights original salt blends and related products. Hand-drawn illustrations featuring the store's mascots, "GURUGURU" and "SHAKASHAKA," infuse the space with charm and personality.

The design's pièce de résistance is the neon "SHIO" (Salt) sign, which creates a visual dialogue with the "Ume" sign of the neighboring UMEBOSHI shop. This thoughtful detail not only enhances brand recognition but also establishes GURUGURU SHAKASHAKA as a must-visit destination in Tokyo's culinary landscape – a space that is truly worth its salt.
