    Great whale steak

    The place is right beside shibuya 109 mall. Had whale sashimi ( a tad too bloody for me) and whale steak in japanese sauce. The steak was medium rare and cook till perfection. Worth a try

    The whale meat is sooo good. I went during lunch time and the menu was really limited so I recommend going for dinner. The only food available are whale dishes so don't go if you're a vegan. Decent prices as well. I got a whale...More

    It is a whale restaurant and they make that very clear to you so its on you if you eat there.

    "Call me Ishmael..."

    A childish, romantic whim... A desire, a curiosity. I've eaten every kind of food, the whale was missing... A very japanese-style restaurant, sober and woody, quiet and relaxing, a real island surrounded by the noisy waves of Shibuya, a ghost ship with the legendary "Pequod"...More

    Shibuya / Harajuku / Ebisu
    There are countless opportunities to shop in the
    Shibuya and Harajuku districts, especially in shops
    that focus on Japan's "Kawaii" culture. The trendiest
    areas are around Shibuya’s Center district, Harajuku's
    Takeshita-dori and in Omotesando. If you need to
    recharge from all the shopping, you can easily refresh
    yourself in Meiji Jingu or Sasaki Park. In contrast,
    Ebisu has a more grown up ambiance of calm and cool.
