The popular beer garden in Matsuya Ginza (Chuo-ku, Tokyo) started on May 29th. The concept beer garden, which has been held since 2013 under the title of "Beautiful Beer Garden," will be held in 2015 with the theme of "moisture."

What kind of food and drink will entertain us? The En-eating editorial department has experienced it at a preview for the media!

◆ Dance your heart in a fashionable atmosphere

The venue is the rooftop of Matsuya Ginza. At the reception, have a yellow ribbon attached to your arm and enter. Wooden table seats, sofa seats, low table seats, high chair seats, and VIP seats with various benefits. There are 278 seats in total. The pink lighting provided here and there creates a stylish atmosphere, but the set and atmosphere are calm, making it a cozy space.

The En-eating editorial department was guided to a sofa seat for three people. You can see the entire venue from a position slightly higher than the other tables.

◆ Various set menus

On this day, I experienced a set menu of 5,000 yen (tax included). Five food items come with a 2-hour all-you-can-drink.

When I was seated, colorful fruits were first brought in. And the handsome staff will pour sparkling wine. These are welcome services that started this year.

The staff who said, "I have as many good-looking guys as possible" is also one of the mechanisms to give "moisturizing" to the eyes.

The types of fruits are strawberries, oranges, pineapples, melons, grapefruits, grapes, and dragon fruits. The assortment is also beautiful.

For drinks after sparkling wine, you can go to the drink corners in two places, the back and front of the venue, to pick them up by yourself. Especially in the foreground is a stylish bar counter with a variety of liquor bottles.

One of the highlights is the extensive drink menu. In addition to beer, sour and wine, a wide variety of alcoholic beverages such as "Fruit Honey Lassi", "Fruit Moheat", "Fruit Vinegar Sour" and "Fruit Margarita" are available. A lineup that even people who are not good at beer can enjoy.

The contents of the dish are "Kamishu Seseragi Pork" for barbecue (BBQ) and a set of vegetables, fried chicken and french fries using salted koji, and two kinds of bread.

The protagonist is "Kozuke Seseragi Pork"! You will be grilled with plenty of vegetables. Two types of ribs and shoulder loin. The meat has a little odor and is sweet, so you can eat more and more. Wrap it in leafy vegetables if you like. By the way, be careful as the oil will splash when baking.

There are two types of shime (?) Bread: rye bread and slightly sweet tomato and basil bread. It seems that rye bread contains minerals.

The number of items seems to be small at 5, but each item has a solid volume, so you will be quite full. The food is brought in all at once, so you can eat what you want when you want. However, if you hold it loosely, it will take 2 hours in a blink of an eye. Personally, I recommend that you bake the meat early and have the roaster and tray lowered, and enjoy a relaxing chat while using the table widely.

You can also enjoy cocktails, shaved ice, and dessert menus using "Ginza honey" for an additional fee (for a fee). If you are interested, please try it.

At the VIP seats (16 seats in total), the welcome drink will be upgraded to champagne, and you can also enjoy desserts and special menus limited to VIP seats. The fee is 9,000 yen (tax included) to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the opening of Matsuya Ginza, and reservations are required (from 4 people). Please when you want to enjoy the beer garden richly in a fashionable space.

◆ How about a "beer garden with a yukata"?

During the period, if you wear a yukata and visit, you will get a gift! You can get a service of "shaved ice". A beer garden with a yukata is nice. By the way, it seems that pastel colors are the trend for yukata this year.

Business hours are from 16:00 to 22:00 on weekdays, from 15:00 to 22:00 on holidays, and 21:00 for last orders. Seats are available for 2 hours and reservations are accepted online only. At the time of opening, it seems that there are many days that are already filled with reservations after 18:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. If you are aiming for the weekend, make a reservation early! It will be held until September 30th. There is no roof at all, so it will be canceled in case of rain. Don't forget to take measures against UV rays when the weather is nice.
