AnAn is a new Japanese noodle bar designed for Autostadt, Germany, the theme park and communications platform of the Volkswagen Group. Hosoya Schaefer won the design competition held by Autostadt GmbH based on the theme of contemporary Tokyo in 2005 and completed the project in 2007. The task was to build a Japanese noodle bar that represents on a small area a piece of contemporary Tokyo.
