Also noticed the izakaya venue has been added & menu look delicious. Can't wait to try the various courses. What time are we meeting at Kakoiya?
Well spotted. ^
Since I've been to neither venue I've done some Google Mapping to find how to get there.
Heartland (6-10-1 Roppongi, Roppongi Hills West Walk 1F) or
ハートランド (pronounced 'Hah---toh-randoh')
is on the street level at the bottom of the Mori Tower below a Zara shop. Here is Roppongi Hills' own
map, Google Maps'
version, and a
Google Street View (my best attempt).
We have the lounge area of the bar reserved for our group between 6-9pm, but the bar is open until 4am! Those aiming to go to Tsukiji on Friday morning might be able to save on a hotel room and start walking/getting a cab straight from the bar. @:-)
Kakoiya (ORE Yurakucho Building 5F, 2-3-5, Yurakucho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) might be more challenging to find but Google Street View tells me it's on the 5th floor of
this building. (
Google map). Our booking is between 7-9pm.
Kakoiya Yurakucho 8 course menu (for 3?)
Booking is still open for Saturday's airport/dinner cruise.
