ROBOT
RESTAURANT
Shinjuku
Who hasn’t seen the large Valkyrie-like female robots on trucks whizzing around
Tokyo to a pumping soundtrack? These pulchritudinous automatons are waiting
in the heart of Shinjuku’s red-light district at the Robot Restaurant. The venue is a
dizzying design of gold, glittering mosaics and shiny surfaces. The all-action show
involves massive robots, teams of bouncy dancers, mindblowing flying machines and more. Lest you think this
a guy thing, the audiences are always a merry mix of girls and boys, young and old, foreign and Japanese. Make
a reservation before your visit, then confirm by phone one hour before the show. The future is here and it's
kaleidoscopic and robotic… as well as an unforgettable experience.

YAMANO
Akihabara
A5 is the highest grade of kuroge wagyu—a particularly succulent type of Japanese beef.
And that’s what you’ll get at Yamano, a cozy yakiniku restaurant just one minute’s walk
from Akihabara station. Yamano’s culinary crew prepare their own yakiniku sauce to make
the wagyu shine, or you can opt for simple rock salt to up the ante. Popular at Yamano are marbled steaks, rump
beef, skirt steaks marinated in special sauce and the king of beef—sirloin—all selected by the experienced
owner-chef. You can always get your barbecue on by roasting your carne at the table yourself, but if you’d like to
take it easy, just ask the staff to grill it up in advance. It also offers meat and vegetables grilled in miso sauce, and
fresh organs (horumon) cooked in a Japanese hot pot with Osaka-style soy-sauce soup. Vegetable dishes are
available too, as well as a host of other options à la carte.
