Japanese bowl-based bistro

When dining on delectables doled out in dishes, it’s sometimes nice to sit in suitably styled seats.

    You can at least tell us where it is.

  2. It’s in Tachikawa in western Tokyo phauna, although I can’t remember what it’s called.

    Not that it helps with the name, but I’m pretty sure it’s part of a chain too.

    The name would help actually. Do you have a way of finding any details at all?

    It’s called “Issun-boushi” in a sort of restaurant complex (I think) called OTOGIBANASHI TACHIKAWA run by a company called Diamond Dining.

  5. Yeah, that’s the place name lalalemon. There’s a couple of links here with info and maps.

  6. That is cool! What’s the food like?

  7. Lee, were these shots handheld as usual? Definitely impressive if so. Nice composition and creative idea for a photo set either way. I like shots featuring black and red.

  8. Cheers Jason. Yeah, they were handheld, although as the place had just opened, there were hardly any people about and I had time to steady myself.
