Tokyo Tower, a tourist attraction with a history of over 60 years, is known as a broadcasting tower and as an observation deck, but it is also popular as a gourmet spot. These are the latest gourmet news from Tokyo Tower!

Looking up the Tokyo Tower! All-you-can-eat rooftop BBQ
Tokyo Tower is a former broadcasting tower with a structure similar to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but there are some differences. At Tokyo Tower, there is a mall-like commercial facility just below the tower, with restaurants, souvenir shops and the indoor theme park “TOKYO ONE PIECE TOWER“. What surprised me was the rooftop: there is a beer garden!
BBQ at the rooftop
From spring to fall, the restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat (and drink) “Genghis Khan” (“jingisukan”) BBQ. Enjoy your food while looking up at the beautiful steel structure of Tokyo Tower – that’s the perfect combination! To prepare Japanese “Jingisukan”, just spread vegetables on a slightly bent hot plate, and put lamb meat, pork and/or beef on it to steam cook it. Add the secret sauce – done!
Preparing a northern Japanese dish called “jingisukan”
Especially at nighttime after dawn when the Tokyo Tower glows mysteriously in the dark its a fantastic sight and the perfect location to spend an unforgettable night with your family and friends!
“Jingisukan” – do you remember the German song?
By the way, if you just want a drink with some sides, we also recommend HIGHBALL GARDEN in the square in front of the main entrance of Tokyo Tower. Have you ever tried the popular cocktail “Highball”? Well, Japan is known for delicious whiskey. Therefore, Japanese “highballs” are made with whiskey mixed with soda. If you are over 20 years old, you have to try it!
Trying a Japanese “highball” should be on your “to-do list”
