The Experience
Take the elevator up to floor 5 and upon entering the restaurant, you’ll be directed to take off your shoes and store them at the front. Slippers are provided for you for the length of your time there. Beautiful armor of famous warlords can be seen on display right at the front. Assuming you made a reservation as recommended, tell the host your name and you’ll be escorted to the bar or a private room depending on your party. Each room has themed décor of either Masamune Date, Sanada Yukimura, Maeda Keiji, or Nagamasa Asai. There are several drinking plans to choose from as well as meals for sharing or you can opt to simply buy whatever you like for yourself.

In the private rooms, you sit on thin cushions over polished wood surrounding a huge low table. Your waiter or waitress, dressed in period attire, greets you respectfully and tells you a little bit about the room you’re in. After taking your order, they’ll disappear out of the door and you’ll have a moment to take in the art and calligraphy adorning the walls.

Drinks range from delicious cocktails named after famous warlords like Uesugi Kenshin to traditional sake served in large red sakazuki, (wide, flat cups). An extra fun perk of ordering nihonshu is your server will pour your drinks and instruct you to yell banzai loudly before taking the first sip! Recommended food items would be the sashimi or hot pot to share, offering a more immersive and bonding experience. They also serve caesar salads, yakitori, and curry for more simple but delicious options. Some food options are arranged on dishes that invoke Sengoku imagery with castles and flags!
