Hyperlocal Tokyo

This is an Italian restaurant located on the second floor of the Yanmar Building on the Yaesu side of Tokyo Station. The restaurant has a high ceiling, large windows, and an open and airy feel. The interior design and furnishings are stylish and create a fun atmosphere. I enjoyed dinner at a large table in the center of the restaurant, but it was quite noisy and I could barely hear the people sitting at the ends of the table, which was a negative point. The food was very delicious. The grilled beef, which was an additional ¥500 on top of the course, was excellent and highly satisfying. You can choose from two types of pasta. On this day, there was a cream-based and a tomato-based pasta. I chose the tomato pasta and it was delicious with a strong flavor. When I looked at the à la carte menu, I saw oysters, so I ordered some fresh oysters and oyster fritters as an extra. The fresh oysters were unique and interesting because they were served with seawater. They were plump and delicious. The oyster fritters had a somewhat subpar breading, but the flavor was rich due to the cooking. There was a wide variety of alcoholic beverages, and as this is a restaurant themed around rice, they had several rare sake varieties, including Senkin from Tochigi Prefecture, which I would like to try next time.

I visited this restaurant for a weekday lunch with friends. This was my second time, and while it was crowded during my first visit because it had just opened, it was completely empty this time. I made a reservation online just in case, as I try to avoid wheat as much as possible, so I ordered the rice flour pasta (rice flour is an additional ¥200). The menu featured seasonal ingredients, and it felt like something you could only get at this restaurant, which was great. The staff was also polite and helpful, but it was a bit disappointing that the next dish was brought out before I had finished eating the previous one, so the timing was off. The location and atmosphere were both excellent, and the view overlooking Tokyo Station's Yaesu side was stunning.

This Italian restaurant is located in the YANMAR TOKYO building on the Yaesu side of Tokyo Station. The lunch is very reasonably priced, but the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant are special, making me wonder, "Is this price really okay?" The interior is spacious, with high ceilings and a relaxed atmosphere. I think the large glass windows facing the outside also contribute to the pleasant feeling. There is a souvenir shop at the entrance of the restaurant, and as it is YANMAR, they sell rice and famous food products from all over Japan, but they also have a lot of ANA goods (I forgot to take a picture). It's a small shop, but I ended up staying there for a long time. It's a restaurant that can be used for both casual and date occasions.

I don't usually add many restaurants to my Google Maps favorites, but this one is a gem! The space is bright and airy with a glass facade, and the private rooms are also excellent. The food is delicious, with every dish reflecting the chef's passion. The staff is stylish and professional. The shop next to the entrance is also fun to browse and offers a variety of items. The location is also a plus, right in front of the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station!
