The Tokyo branch is located at "atre Shinagawa". The first restaurant is on Grand Central Terminal, Manhattan,New York. As they say the interior decorations in Shinagawa branch are almost the same as the Manhattan's one, it seems to be a casual restaurant, but in fact one piece of oyster costs around 500 YEN, a little bit expensive. They prepare various kinds of oysters from both home and abroad. I ordered the lunch menu A including caeser salad, clam chowder, grilled salmon, and lemon ice cream, and an oyster plate. The oysters were milky and delicious, but salty. I suppose they use a lot of salt for preservation.

After lunch I visited Takanawa Prinzchen Garten, which composes of the French restaurant, "Colombages" and the Christmas Shop, which deals in various christmas-related goods, such as tree ornaments, greeting cards, and so on all the year round. The inside of the shop is colorfully decorated with a lot of Christmas ornaments. In the restaurant, a wedding party was being held. The Takanawa area of the northern part used to be more lively than the Konan, the southern part. But the Konan area has been drastically redeveloped in the past few years, and now seems to be more vibrant.
