EATING OUT IN TOKYO WITH DOMINIC

[MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 2012]

Shunju, Tameikesanno

春秋溜池山王

Shunju is a well known izakaya at the top of the Sanno

Park Tower in Tameikesanno. On the night I visited it was

not at all crowded so my dining partner and I were lucky

enough to get a window seat and enjoy the view out to

Shinjuku. The ambiance on the night seemed chilled and

quite laid-back - quite how I like it. Crowded, noisy, smoky

izakaya do my head in!

The set we ordered was around 5,000 yen, which I think

is quite good value for what was included. The flavours in

some of the dishes were a little bland for my liking but, all

in all, it's a nice set. The service is also very pleasant, so if

have an out-of-towner to modestly entertain, I would try

it out.
