What if a floor isn’t just the surface beneath your feet, but part of the story? At the Michelin-starred restaurant MIZU NO YAMA, Coretec® plays exactly that role. In the fine dining area, Saumur from the premium XL-END collection resembles refined oak, while in the izakaya bistro, Veleta from the Naturals collection provides an earthy, natural foundation. Two floors, two experiences, one and the same promise of quality.
MIZU NO YAMA combines two distinct concepts under one roof: a fine dining area and a bistro. In the fine dining area, everything revolves around omakase, “I put myself in your hands.” A menu that unfolds like a stroll through the seasons, guided by intuition and craftsmanship. In the bistro, on the other hand, the focus is on izakaya: a place where you can relax, share, laugh, and unwind after a long day.
The interior perfectly captures the atmosphere and vision of both areas. While the fine dining area focuses more on refinement and elegance, the bistro exudes a subdued and minimalist atmosphere. The flooring plays a bigger role in that distinction than you might think at first glance; it serves as the foundation upon which the rest of the experience is built.

In the fine dining area, the choice fell on Saumur, an oak floor from Coretec. Saumur combines the warm look of parquet with the convenience of a low-maintenance floor, making it ideal for a space where every detail counts and nothing can be left to chance. The planks stand out because of their size: they are no less than 2.1 meters long and 30.5 centimeters wide. An extra-thick core provides the necessary strength, while a 0.8-millimeter protective layer gives the floor exceptional wear resistance. This ensures that the wood’s natural appearance is preserved, even in a dining room where service never stops.
While Saumur enhances the sophistication of the fine dining area, Veleta from the Naturals collection brings a softer, earthier touch to the bistro. This collection combines wood and stone designs that seem plucked straight from nature with a subtle color palette inspired by lush forests and towering mountain peaks. That sense of tranquility blends seamlessly with the casual character of an izakaya: a place to relax without sacrificing style. Here, too, a natural look goes hand in hand with a durable, practical finish that can withstand the hustle and bustle of a lively bistro.
These Coretec® floors prove that a floor can do more than just provide support—it can enhance a design concept. Premium aesthetics, natural tranquility, and lasting quality. At MIZU NO YAMA, two different stories run parallel, and in both, Coretec® sets the tone.
