Japanese bowl-based bistro

When dining on delectables doled out in dishes, it’s sometimes nice to sit in suitably styled seats.

    It’s in Tachikawa in western Tokyo phauna, although I can’t remember what it’s called.

    Not that it helps with the name, but I’m pretty sure it’s part of a chain too.

    The name would help actually. Do you have a way of finding any details at all?

    It’s called “Issun-boushi” in a sort of restaurant complex (I think) called OTOGIBANASHI TACHIKAWA run by a company called Diamond Dining.

    Lee, were these shots handheld as usual? Definitely impressive if so. Nice composition and creative idea for a photo set either way. I like shots featuring black and red.

    Cheers Jason. Yeah, they were handheld, although as the place had just opened, there were hardly any people about and I had time to steady myself.
