Reaching this location at the back of the cavernous G-Zone complex means a long indoor walk past Ginza branches of other Global Dining Group establishments. It feels like a kind of restaurant Disneyworld with Italy-land, Asia-land, etc and that makes the whole experience rather corporate. The interior of this branch is note a patch on the Kill Bill set of the Nishi Azabu location, feeling as it does as a cross between a company dining room and a hawker centre. Food is fine but not interesting enough for a return visit to be likely.

The view is supposed to be the attraction here but the interior and the natural, healthy, varied menu means that this is worth a visit even when all the window seats are booked. Good for a big group and perfect for visitors.

Izakaya-style with an interesting modern twist. Attentive staff and delicious dishes, healthy options, inexpensive and close to the office. A complete absence of ambience lets it down somewhat though - feels more like a 24-hr hotel cafe than a quirky izakaya.
