“Kappo Akemi” which will offer traditional Japanese cuisine will be opened in Ebisu from the 13th of September, 2017 (Wed.)

・Deep Kisu ( the fish, sillaginoid)
・A5 Kuroge Wagyu (Japanese black cattle) “Katsube Gyu” Steak / Irizake (seasoned sake)

Most of the ingredients used in Kappo Akemi are gathered from their special palces. Unique and rare ingredients such as fresh fish and “Kokuryu Ginjo Buta” (pigs, a little drunk because they are raised on sake) are used in the restaurant.
The most recommended ingredient is “Katsube Gyu,” black cattle produced in Shimane Prefecture. The quantity of this cattle is only about 10% of Kobe Gyu or Omi Ushi and thus the cattle is called as “the phantasmal cattle.” This breed of cattle has received many awards and you can enjoy this rare meat in many different ways, the method of cooking changing according to the season.

Hailing originally from Brooklyn, the 130-year-old Peter Luger Steak House has announced the opening of its first-ever Japanese branch which will welcome customers at Ebisu Garden Place in Tokyo this September with its 3-storeys of red brick.
Peter Luger is credited with spreading the mouth-watering wonder of dry-aged beef steak to the world which has made the restaurant's name globally famous. The restaurant of course wields a Michelin Star and has been featured high on the Zagat Survey for over 30 years. The secret behind Peter Luger's signature ingredient
The restaurant's beef fillet and New York strip are signature items on the menu, both of which are made from porterhouse steak. Their steak is also made from USDA Prime beef which is dry-aged by hand to intensify the flavour and aroma. The porterhouse is placed directly onto the broiler and seasoned solely with salt. The steak is flipped only once during the broiling process. A knob of melted butter is added to a serving platter and the steak is sliced atop it. It's then placed back into the broiler for a few minutes depending on the doneness requested by the customer. It's this process that gives Peter Luger's steaks their deliciousness. Brooklyn red brick building and theatre decor
The Japanese branch takes inspiration from the Brooklyn restaurant with its red brick exterior. The first floor is home to the bar where customers can enjoy food and cocktails. There's also a takeout shop with gifts and other items. The second floor is the spacious dining space which is home to Peter Ruger's first-ever open kitchen. The third floor is another seating area with balcony-like seats so you can look out over the city. There are seven private dining rooms of varying sizes for those looking a little more intimacy and privacy. The restaurant's lighting was also designed by a New York designer. Information

Tokyo Saryo was the world’s first ever hand drip tea specialist shop. This year, they’re celebrating the first tea of the season with the reopening of Ochazuke stand Tokyo Saryo. The Ochazuke stand was a big hit last year, and this year it will be open for a three month period from Wednesday 24th April to Wednesday 31st July. Ochazuke is a Japanese dish that every Japanese person must have had at least once in their life. For many, it is a normal option for a light breakfast that you can make at home. It’s just green tea poured over cooked rice. Simple! However, in recent years, replacing the green tea with dashi stock has become the most popular form of this breakfast. The Ochazuke stand hopes to encourage people to use green tea for their ochazuke in their daily lives more often by creating an original ochazuke dish which really carries the flavour of green tea. The recipe has been specially made to fit in with modern daily lifestyle.
This ochazuke is sprinkled with lots of green tea so you can really enjoy "eating" tea! Soft sprouting tea leaves that resemble the appearance of nori seaweed are collected and ground into a powder called tencha. This tea remains in its unground form of matcha. Pour water over the original green tea powder and the fragrance of the tea will be released! Teahouse original ochazuke: Eel ¥500 Teahouse original ochazuke: Salmon ¥500 Teahouse original ochazuke: Scallop ¥500 Teahouse original ochazuke: Plum ¥500 (*tax included in prices stated)
You can also add olive oil to your dish afterwards for just ¥50. Order Tokyo Saryo’s hand drip tea on top of your order (+¥150) and you will be presented with the first tea of the season that uses tea leaves freshly collected from Kagoshima. The leaves were collected on 7th April 2019 and a special recipe is used to make this tea. It’s not just tea they serve here! As an important base flavour, the stand also serves up dashi. This is made by combining bonito fish flakes and kombu kelp sourced from Makurazaki to produce a high quality and delicious flavour. You can also choose to add a topping of Nicomaru Genmai which is made from brown rice. This is very popular among adults as it adds a luxurious fragrance to your meal. You can eat in or take out for the same price. Every day, sales will end when they run out of rice, so get there as fast as you can! Information
