New Restaurants in Shibuya
The Zenith
The Zenith is about six minutes away from Shibuya Station. It serves traditional food, but it looks more modern than other similar restaurants. The Zenith is on the eleventh floor. It also has a private rooftop area with an amazing view of the city. I recommend this restaurant for birthday parties and other casual celebrations.
Itadakimasu
Itadakimasu is farther from Shibuya Station than The Zenith. On foot it took almost fifteen minutes to get there. Itadakimasu has beautiful tatami floors and looks fancier than The Zenith. It’s also larger than The Zenith, but it doesn’t have a private room. The atmosphere is more formal than The Zenith’s atmosphere, so I recommend this restaurant for work parties.
TRIVIA
Did you know that there are two types of tatami arrangement? Most houses and restaurants have the shugijiki arrangement. It is for good luck. The bushugijiki arrangement is only used for funerals and is considered bad luck.
畳の敷き方には2種類あると知っていましたか？多くの家やレストランでは、祝儀敷きという敷き方をしています。これは縁起が良い敷き方です。不祝儀敷きは、葬儀の時に使われる敷き方であり、縁起が良いものではありません。

New Restaurant Alert
Okawari and Under the Stars are the newest restaurants in town. Both serve great food, but which restaurant is better?
Okawari serves traditional Japanese food. At ¥1,000 per meal, it’s cheaper than Under the Stars. It also has a private area on the second floor. The main area is larger than the private area, but the private area is fancier.
Under the Stars serves Western food. At ¥2,000 per meal, it’s more expensive than Okawari, but the atmosphere here is more fun and relaxed. The customers are generally younger than the customers at Okawari. There are no private rooms, but you can enjoy your meal under star-shaped lights.
