A Japanese-Style Full Bar

Tatami mats are laid in a dimly lit room. It is a Japanese-style room, but the horigotatsu (sunken area for your legs) allows you to stretch your legs like a regular table seating. A faint light passes through shoji screens (wooden panel with Washi paper) behind the seat making a subdued Japanese ambiance.
