Jul 25, 2024 | News On Japan

Jul 25, 2024 (Paolo fromTOKYO) - Tokyo Japanese Food tour at Japan's newly created spot in Azabudai Hills. This is the full tour experience of this location just nestled between Kamiyacho and Roppongi-Itchome station, Azabudai Hills feels like a little modern garden city all of its own.

At the heart lies a 6000㎡ central square, filled with trees and flowers, surrounded by 150 shops and restaurants, a full supermarket and even teamLab Borderless. Azabudai Hill's Market is far from your typical Japanese supermarket as it has 38 renowned shops uniquely gathered to offer more than just groceries. These Delicatessen style shops AKA Sozai, include Fried Heaven from Hiyama Wagyu, a butcher with over 100 years of history, wine pairing appetizers created by a 10 times Michelin starred restaurant, Daikanyama Ata, various healthy deli options from Yaoichi, a Kyoto vegetable shop, and even an all-natural Tsukemono Pickles shop with that grandma’s home cooking taste. On the 3rd floor of Tower Plaza, you’ll find nicer restaurants and bars. This place has Yakitori, Seafood Italian, Balcony by 6th, a Thai Bistro, and the list goes on. But today, I’m taking you to Yoroniku, an all private room Yakiniku restaurant that originated in Minami Aoyama so I get my meat on! Last but not least, ya’ll know I had to include this spot, the teamLab borderless museum..I’ve actually featured it before in previous videos, but that was when I it was in Odaiba. I gotta say, even after going a few times in the past, this dynamic museum never disappoints with its more 50 pieces of digital art.
