Shanghai Plaza

 

 

 

 

 

In recent weeks, a noteworthy transformation has unfolded at Shibuyala. The Japanese skin care and cosmetic store has successfully transitioned into a new identity as “Reiwatakiya,” reflecting a change in focus.

While the exterior signage still bears the previous name, “Shibulaya,” the establishment has officially embraced the name “Reiwatakiya.” Plans are in progress for the installation of fresh signage that will align with this rebranding.

Reiwatakiya, a global cosmeceutical brand originating in Japan, specializes in cosmetics and personal care items, delighting thousands of customers monthly with Japanese culture-infused products. With branches in Boston, New York, Markham, London, Las Vegas and a vision for further expansion, they uphold values of “challenge,” “evolution,” and “diversity.” Renowned for offering top-tier Japanese skincare and beauty products, Reiwatakiya has established a robust image in the beauty industry as partners with various well-known brands.

Their product range includes cosmetics (foundation, concealer, blush, etc.), skincare (cleansers, serums, etc.), hair care (shampoo, styling products, etc.), body care (soap, lotion, etc.), and various other items like fragrances and accessories.

 

 

 

 

 

At the northwest side of the plaza, nestled amidst Dagu Rice, Sul & Beans, Somi Somi, and Tea Maison, the former location of “The Black” store is undergoing a remarkable transformation. It’s evolving into a dynamic DIY kids’ workplace, highlighting the adaptability of spaces in the ever-changing retail landscape.

 

 

 

 

While transitioning from retail to a DIY kids workspace isn’t the most unconventional change, it certainly represents a significant shift in purpose, emphasizing their dedication to providing a unique experience. We encourage you to track the captivating journey of this transformation, from the brand’s evolution to the remarkable reshaping of the physical space.

Seoul Plaza: Amid Anticipation of New Restaurants, Current Favorites Thrive and Bustle

 

 

 

Seoul Plaza remains bustling with activity, even as it prepares for significant changes. Despite the imminent arrival of five new restaurants, the plaza continues to thrive.

Regarding the wine bar slated to replace Sweets Raku, there have been no reported remodeling efforts or updates thus far. Similarly, 10 Second Yunnan Rice Noodle, as mentioned last week, has postponed its opening by one month.

In the midst of these developments, Raku is working on an after-hours/members-only concept, while the remodeling of the original Hwaro is in its final stages. Unfortunately, there are no updates available regarding Chamon‘s anticipated return.
