Situated on Sambongi-dori, it takes the name 'Shoten', meaning ‘shop’, from the idea that you can find almost anything there. The place aims to be a gathering place that entertains with a wide variety of food and drinks. The menu does not stick to any one genre, offering Japanese, French, Chinese and various cuisines. But what catches the eye above all is the charcoal grill. Beef, duck, venison and mutton are char-grilled with a delicately controlled flame. The wine list leans toward organic, while the sake selection focuses on those best served warm.
