The minute you think you’ve visited every Tokyo theme restaurant, a new one pops up. I had dinner with a group of Goths at 京町恋しぐれ / Kyoumachi-koi-shigure in Shibuya. It’s a traditional Kyoto-themed restaurant and belongs to the same group that operates Christon.

We enjoyed fruit shochu and artfully-presented modern versions of Kyoto cuisine — such as a veggie dish that we cooked in a basket, right at the table. Poor Buddha got some torture action: Mistress Maya put her fingers up his nose and Count de Sang gave his nip a twist!

The restaurant looked like old Kyoto, with paper-sliding doors, a traditional Japanese bridge, greenery and moody lighting. It may not be the wildest, weirdest theme restaurant in Japan, but it was well worth a visit. (For photos and stories of maid cafes and over 30 wacky theme restaurants, check out my new book.)

For us, this is a casual Goth look. Do you usually wear black or alternative clothes, even to dinners with friends?

LA is insane insane insane… tomorrow is my last day here. Wait until you see the photos and videos!!

    I'm getting away with wearing Lolita for my Formal Graduation, so, yes, I suppose you can say I go a bit “extreme” for dinners, visits with friends- that's all we ever wear to see each other. Alternative for us is jeans and a shirt XD

        Pirate pants?! D: Trade! I’ve sliced holes in my black jeans on the knees and have tried to get chains to hang off them to make them look better, but still… Phail.

    I pretty much always wear black and/or lolita. On VERY rare occasions I might wear a t-shirt and jeans, but then it's black jeans! ;)

    I normally wear alternative clothing most of the time. Even when I'm casual, I still have a distinct alternative flair to my clothing.

  • http://www.lacarmina.com lacarmina

    I find it necessary to have an alt flair… it just doesn't feel right otherwise!

    I wear black whenever I can. Can't go wrong with it.
    By the way, that restaurant seems so chill. Makes my dream of going to Japan seem more urgent. Teehee.
