Tokyo’s newest JR station, Takanawa Gateway, has its own lounge filled with restaurants and entertainment, hosted by popular Tokyo FM radio station J-Wave. As its name Nihonmono (‘Japanese things’) Lounge suggests, this temporary venue will feature all things Japanese including an extensive lineup of sake, plus food from high-end restaurants. It’s all been carefully curated by former professional football player and sponsor of the annual Craft Sake Week, Hidetoshi Nakata.
There will also be a beer counter featuring five different kinds of Yebisu Beer, live musical performances, screenings of short films that have been selected for the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia, and live broadcasts of selected J-Wave radio programs. The lineup of sake and schedule of performances will be updated weekly, so check the website for details.
