Agreeing to go to one theme-restaurant in Japan, we went to Kagaya where their motto is “frog is stranger than fiction.” I had no idea what this place was about, but maybe it’s better going into it that way.

It felt like an art show and dinner, all-in-one. It’s a little weird but definitely fun and funny. At different times, there is audience participation and you’ll get to choose your own adventure, as well. The food is traditional Japanese and quite nice; I think the performer’s mother cooks and serves it.

The place is small and they do a good job of fitting a lot of people in a small space. Be prepared: everyone sits on the floor. 

It’s a one-minute walk from JR Shimbashi Station, but you should definitely make reservations ahead of time through their website.
