The fun of staying at The Palace Hotel Tokyo is the constant discovery of Marunouchi's restaurants. Up in the buildings, the ground floors, and countless establishments in the basements - you can't stop eating in this financial hub.
Most of Marunouchi's eats are casual, but casual among the suits from work. After work restaurants are filled with drinking, smoking, and eating the day's stresses away. It's a fun environment, and the more crowded the restaurant, the tastier the food.
In one of the many buildings, !iiyo! or the Eiraku building holds countless eats in a matter of meters. In an attempt to find a smokefree environment for my nephews, we saw an table made of milk crates. It seemed like decoration, but still function. And the menu was filled with grilled and fried Japanese izakaya dishes. Thankfully, the decorative table was indeed function. So sitting on cushioned milk crates made for a fun night of eating at
Teppen.
There are so many great eats in Tokyo. I love that these restaurants are understated and low key, while shining with overwhelming plates and tastes.
