Tokyo Weekender - November 2017

[ END-OF-YEAR SPECIAL PROMOTION ]
KARAOKE KAN ROPPONGI MAIN STORE
Nothing complements a year-end party like some group singing. Karaoke Kan Roppongi provides
a premium experience that doesn’t end at the songbook. The towering building features spacious
rooms decked out with lights, throwback standing mics and views of Tokyo Tower. It carries over
to the food, highlighted by easy-to-share plates of yakisoba, pizza and fried chicken. Save room for
the tower of onion rings, and also for a big glass of Suntory beer or a premium highball featuring a
variety of Suntory whiskeys. And all of the courses are affordable, so you won’t break the year-end
budget. Plus, the costumes are free.

ROCKY3
The folks behind Rocky3 in Akasaka-
Mitsuke carry on family traditions at
the cozy spot. The store’s origins trace
back to Fukuoka after World War II,
when the owner’s grandma started
making grilled meat on skewers for
customers. Now that taste of Kyushu
comes to Tokyo, with assorted juicy
meats, and rich side dishes such as
a Camembert cheese melt. It’s great
for a bonenkai because it’s easier
to eat beef off a stick than grill it
yourself. They stock 180 varieties of
wine in house, many from Suntory,
along with a bar stocked with whiskey
and nihonshu. Make sure to give the
punching bag near the door a nice jab
on the way out.
