Our favorite! “Amenite Ginza”

In this corner, we will talk about the things, people, places, and commitments of the shops and facilities that are "recommended!"


Recommended of the last time! We interviewed "Amenite Ginza" , a cafe and bistro, which is a sister store of "Appartement 301" featured in. It is a casual bistro where you can enjoy authentic dishes prepared by the chef trained in France and a wide variety of sake while having good access, just a 1-minute walk from Ginza 1-chome Station.

Mr. Toru Kurokatsuhara, the manager and chef, told us this time.

While making you feel the sex appeal of a cool adult, there is some warm customer service and space. We asked a lot about what kind of thoughts are put into such "Amenite Ginza"!

You have training experience in France!



Okay. After studying abroad in France for a year from a Japanese cooking school and studying at a local cooking school for half a year, I spent the remaining half a year doing stage (training) at a restaurant. After returning to Japan, I worked at a French restaurant in Tokyo, and when the restaurant opened in August last year, I became involved in the launch of the restaurant and menu development as a store manager and chef.

Is French the main menu?

The base is French, but it's not just that. Try adding a Japanese taste, try using fruits in the main dish … I like sake myself, and we also have many types of sake and French side dishes that match it. I will. Anyway, I am thinking of a menu that I would like customers to choose as they like by preparing various things.

The interior of the store has the theme of "good old and tasteful cabaret". There are private rooms and semi-private rooms where you can relax.

What kind of customers do you have?

We have a variety of customers coming to our store, but since all seats are pet-friendly, many of our customers are taking a walk with their dogs. In addition, there are many sofas, and private rooms and semi-private rooms are also available, so it can be used slowly by those with babies and those who are in the family. Even though it is located in Ginza, you can enjoy your meal without stretching your shoulders in the interior using antique furniture, and I think that you can relax with casual customer service.

It is also attractive that the atmosphere is completely different depending on the seat. You can enjoy different scenery every time you visit the store.

We have prepared 3 types of recommended menus this time, but what about this drink?

Cafe Royale Mojito is offered only in winter. Warm latte with fresh mint and barrel-aged dark rum. It has a sweet taste, so even those who are not good at drinking may find it easy to drink. It is recommended as the first cup or as a coffee base so it can be used as a squeeze.

And here, add the rum that ignited in the audience at the time of serving.

At dinner time, the lights in the store are turned off and candles are turned on, so I think you can enjoy the atmosphere even more.

And this is the main dish! It has plenty of volume.

"East Takumi Pork" Charcoal Grill-Black Garlic Puree- . "East Takumi Pork" is the name of Chiba brand pork. Since it is roasted over charcoal, excess fat is removed and women can enjoy it in a healthy way. Garnish with 3 or 4 kinds of seasonal vegetables. The sauce is refreshingly finished by adding kabosu to deglazing (taken from veal meat and bones). It also comes with black garlic puree, so you can add it to your liking.

amenite French toast half ¥ 850

This is a half size of amenite French toast. It is also available in full size (¥ 1,300). French toast is called Pan Perdu in France, but this menu arranges the authentic taste in an Amenite style. Caramelized caramelized carinard (French brown sugar), combined with ricotta cheese ordered from Shibuya cheese stand and homemade vanilla ice cream. You can feel not only the sweetness but also the saltiness.

Finally, please give a few words to the readers.

Amenite Ginza is perfect for enjoying delicious food in a casual atmosphere. Meal courses are also available from ¥ 2,000, and you can enjoy them at a relatively low price even in Ginza. The menu changes depending on the season, and we offer a unique menu that incorporates not only French food but also sake and ingredients from my hometown of Oita prefecture. Please come by all means.


Even during the interview, there were many customers who enjoyed eating in the fashionable store. Even though it's Ginza, you can relax with your dog, so it seems that there are no end to the number of customers who come to the store by word of mouth from friends. I actually received the menu prepared this time, and I am very satisfied with the authentic taste at a reasonable price. There are so many food menus that you can't miss it, so it's perfect for sharing with everyone while having a drink. It was a space that made me stay longer.
