Rotterdam is known as a city that continues to innovate. It is therefore not surprising that more and more new and creative companies have enriched our city.
Pimped sneakers, a TikTok worthy interior and Japanese influences. Be surprised by these new ventures that will conquer the future!
SHIN is a brand new Japanese restaurant on the Rode Zand. SHIN was opened by the same owners as Ajisan, which is located in the middle of the Coolsingel, near the Koopgoot.
Shin is a restaurant in the style of the izakaya bars that you see a lot in Tokyo. Izakaya bars are basically places where you can combine good food with a drink. And the drinks at SHIN are really delicious: the most fantastic cocktails, whiskeys, beers, and so on. SHIN has it.
The goal of the owners of SHIN is to introduce the Netherlands to real Japanese cuisine and that doesn't just mean only sushi and ramen! You will find delicious dishes that you will not easily find in your average sushi restaurant.
WEAR is a new sneaker store located in the Beurstraverse, of course much better known as the Koopgoot. WEAR is not a standard sneaker store, because WEAR only sells second-hand shoes and pimps your old, dirty sneakers.
These 'pre-loved' shoes, as they like to describe them themselves, are purchased from Sympany. Sympany is a foundation that collects second-hand clothing and shoes for reuse and recycling.
At WEAR people work with 'untapped labor potential'. This means that, for whatever reason, these people do not easily find a job. When you buy shoes at WEAR, you not only help yourself to new Nikes, but you reduce your ecological footprint while also helping people find a job!
