Looking for a slightly classier beer garden option this summer? One spot worth considering is Balcony at Roppongi's Izumi Garden: this slick resort-style eatery serves up a meat- and veg-heavy, very eclectic menu as part of an all-you-can-drink deal – it's ¥4,980 for a nine-course set and ¥5,980 for the full ten-course version, while the moneyed among us can opt for free-flowing sparkling wine as part of a ¥6,980 package. Craft beer aficionados will be happy to hear that all three sets include the Tokyo-born Kagua brew among the drink options.
Note that this beer garden is closed on weekends and holidays.
