Concept

Quiet, deep, and the night drawn slowly. A dim room, a slow breath, and the city switched off.

Light spills through a wooden lattice set into a coffered ceiling. Olive sofas line a room of wood and plaster; a round latticed window glows softly from within. A small brass lamp lays down shadows, and smoke lifts from a shisha on a glass base. A wa-modern room, and quiet time around a bowl. This is W Sheeshark's first location in Japan; the original house is in Shanghai. Staff speak Mandarin, Shanghainese, Cantonese and English. The venue calls itself a lounge, a restaurant and a bar; shisha, drinks and pricing are as listed on the menu. No one under twenty.

The room

A curved sofa, one small light.

A wide view of the lounge — striped armchairs and low wooden tables with rattan lamps, banquettes along the wall, the bar counter at the back, a rust-toned panel and a woven wall hanging

Atmosphere

Under the coffered ceiling — banquettes, striped chairs, one framed panel.

The room

Wa-modern, in the shape of night. Lattice ceiling, plaster walls, one window that glows.

Counter

Behind the counter, glass in the light.

Inside

The quiet of Minami-Semba.

The room, as the house photographed it.

The seven photographs and two videos in this section are real records of the room — supplied by the venue, or published by the venue itself.

Walk the room From the corner by the plant to the seats at the back, in one take.
  • Below a lit wall niche and a woven hanging, striped corduroy chairs at a wooden table; on the table one shisha and a small brass lamp.
  • Velvet cushions along a wall bench, a brass lamp to each wooden table; striped corduroy chairs in the foreground and a long rust-coloured panel on the wall above.
  • The room seen from above — wooden tables and corduroy armchairs, a long banquette along the wall, small brass table lamps, and a curved counter with stools at the far end
  • A long cushioned banquette and wooden tables lit by two shaded brass lamps, a shelf of glassware and bottles beyond, under a wooden-lattice coffered ceiling
  • The corner with the woven hanging and the display niche: four striped corduroy armchairs at a wooden table, a single stem in a vase and a brass lamp.

The room, as the house recorded it.

Other seats

  • A room of pale wood tables and wooden armchairs, more of the same tables beyond; a long rust-coloured panel on the wall and two woven pendant lights above.
    01 Pale wood tables and wooden armchairs. A branch across the rust-coloured panel, two pendant lights above.
  • A room with olive walls, a large round window passing daylight, an L-shaped sofa and a low wooden table with one shisha on it, a cut-log stand to the right.
    02 A round window's light on an olive wall. One pipe on a low wooden table, a cut-log stand beside it.

First time

First time here

  1. 01

    Say what you like

    Sweet, cool, heavy. Say quietly which way you want it to go.

  2. 02

    The blend

    In general, several tobaccos are combined into the flavour of one bowl.

  3. 03

    The draw

    Slower and deeper than usual. Taste it through the scent, not the lungs.

This is the general shape of a shisha session, not a description of this venue's own service. Confirm by phone.
