Kyojin no Stew House (The Giant's Stew House)

Opened in February 2015, this mightily named restaurant attempts to bring a little true Irish attitude to the unlikely surroundings of Togoshi Ginza. Sitting pretty along the main shopping arcade in the charmingly old-school neighbourhood, The Giant offers a selection of authentic, traditionally cooked comfort food in an environment inspired by owner Alan Fisher's hometown of Dundalk. Celtic stews, including Beef, Guinness, Seafood Chowder and Irish Lamb, are the main attractions, while the Kyojin (Giant) Sandwich, packed with shredded BBQ pork, cheese, tomato, lettuce and mayo, is another highlight. Check out the extensive bilingual website for everything from menu details to a 'giant's tale' recounting Alan's adventures.
