Garlic Restaurant

I had read somewhere about a couple of garlic-themed restaurants in the Tokyo or Kyoto areas, but I can't find anything online. A search through here didn't bring anything up, and this was where I thought I found it. (Which means it might have been in a book.) Anyone know more about this? I'd really love to go to one, and my trip is in 5 days.

Theres seem to be a few independent garlic restaurants, and a few restaurant chains.

One in Ebisu (start from East exit of Ebisu station, straight on for 5 minutes):

A chain in Kobe/Osaka:

Another chain (including locations in Tokyo):

There seem to be some restaurants in Shinjuku - one location in Shinjuku Takashimaya Department store building - , Shibuya, Ikebukuro - inside Ikebukuro PARCO, etc.

Thanks!

there's a garlic themed restuarant that i love going to for lunch. it's located in sibuya, right across from the 109 in a place called "gourmet town."

it's in the building located between the mizuho bank and matumoto kiyosi. i think it's on the 8th(?) floor. like most restuarants, lunch i the best time to go because of the awesome deals for a full meal.
i like their garlic beef lunch special which comes with a drink and desert for about 1500yen. try the melon soda float too mmmm.

i also recommend gourment town's "ochanoma" (6th floor- try their gyuuyakiniku lunch special- it's SO good!) and also the chinese restaurant (6th floor).

the second link ... provided is the exact restaurant chain i was talking about! even the pics on the hp are yummy- just wait until you see the plastic models displayed outside the restaurant!

i hope you can find and enjoy the garlic themed restaurants!

That beef special sounds great, I think that is definitely the place I'll try to find. Thanks for the tip!

I just went to the Ninniku in Ikebukuro today, it was great! I got the steak strip plate and my friend got something with shrimp, cream, and noodles. Both of them were amazing. (I tried some of his.)

I managed to find the building only because I remembered the word PARCO--which happens to be right next to the Ikebukuro train station. Sure enough I saw the hiragana for the name on the sign.

Thanks again for the directions!
