“Terrace Square” – Grand Opening on Friday, May 1510 shops to open, cafés and restaurants new to Japan, new to business format or new to commercial facilities

Commercial Zone
The commercial zone on the 1st and 2nd floors will house a total of ten stores, one of which is the first opening in Japan, two of which are new business formats, and four of which are opening in a commercial facility for the first time. More than 200 terrace seats have been installed on these two floors looking out on the verdant plaza and, once the zone has been opened, visitors will be able to enjoy meals in the midst of fresh greenery.

On the 1st floor, you can find “Teppanyaki Bar Cava?,” a new business format offering food and drinks accompanied by live performances, and “Craft Beer Market,” serving straight from the barrel fresh craft beer from breweries around Japan. “Aonisai,” a sake bar popular in Nakano, will be making its first appearance in a commercial facility. Four distinctive restaurants will open on the 2nd floor, including “Soba Yoidokoro Samuraian,” a new business format serving soba to be eaten with dipping broth, and “Maenam no Hotori,” a Thai restaurant very popular with locals. Diners can leisurely enjoy their meals within the restaurants or use the terrace tables like as a food court. With a bento (lunch-box) station convenient for busy office workers also available, these dining floors can satisfy everyone from office workers looking for a quick bite to eat to visitors wanting to enjoy a relaxing dinner.

In addition to a restoration of Hakuhodo’s main office, the 1st floor of the facility will accommodate the country’s first “HASSO CAFFÈ with PRONTO,” to be jointly run by Hakuhodo, which values “habitants’ insight” and “partnership” in its corporate philosophy, and Café & Bar Pronto. “HASSO” simply means the Japanese word hasso (insight), indicating that this is a new style of café & bar where visitors will encounter and can be inspired by ideas that had not occurred to them previously and thereby reach new “insights.” Located on the 2nd floor will be “GARB pintino,” a top-quality restaurant that also hosts wedding parties. The rooftop area that constitutes the 3rd floor will feature the “Terrace Farm,” Japan’s first urban farm specializing in produce for restaurants. “Soba Yoidokoro Samuraian” and “Teppanyaki Bar Cava?” are among the three restaurants that have contracted with the farm, and they will be offering appetizers, cocktails and other menu items made with vegetables grown here.

Conference Zone
“TKP Garden City Premium Jimbocho” in the 3rd floor Conference Zone will have two halls and three meeting rooms facing the plaza and/or the street with a total seating capacity of 600. It will be available for all types of business events.

Office Zone
Informal agreements have been reached with tenants for about 70% of the floors in the Office Zone (4th-17th floors), and these tenants are expected to begin moving in from this coming July.

The “Terrace Square” will provide office space with the latest functions and create a verdant and bustling space for the community that will add new appeal to the Kanda area.
