The charm of the Yaesu, Nihonbashi, and Kyobashi area is that you can find delicious food from both Japan and abroad, and you can choose a restaurant according to your purpose and mood. GOKINJYO, a community of women workers in this area, introduces their favorite dishes in this relay series.
Hello, my name is Nikaido! I am Nikaido, a comedian in Yaesu Nihonbashi Kyobashi, in my third year at Yoshimoto Kogyo!
Suddenly, Yaesu Nihonbashi Kyobashi has a crazy number of large corporate buildings!
One of them is Yanmar Tokyo!
As it is well known, the company supports Japanese agriculture.

It’s right in front of the Yaesu exit of Tokyo Station!
So I’ve always been curious about this place… An Italian restaurant called “ASTERISCO” on the second floor of Yanmar Tokyo.
What a concept: “Italian food to enjoy rice”! What does that mean!
So we went there!
Friday! A reward for a week of hard work!
What the heck is this place! Can you see it in the picture?
You can see Tokyo Station so clearly in front of you!

The ceilings are wide too! I love stores with high ceilings!
At least it’s a toast! Thanks to everyone for a great week!
Champagne, yes, we got it! You’re on a bit of a roll! Nikaido!
No, it’s okay sometimes! Nikaido!

Here’s your appetizer!
Salmon and pate! That’s what I’m talking about, Yanmar of agriculture. So are the vegetables around, amazingly good!

It’s a great way to get a drink!
What surprised me was this risotto.
What a surprise, they shave the truffles right in front of you!
(This blurry picture here shows them cutting it down!)

It’s an Italian restaurant that enjoys rice, and the risotto is just irresistible… Nikaido’s past 1 risotto is here! Seeking challengers!

You can choose your main course, but there are three options: grilled sea bream OR pork raised on rice OR A5 ranked Wagyu beef. No, it’s troubling! Which do you think Nikaido chose?
The correct answer is ! A5 rank Wagyu beef! This is irresistible! Wagyu beef that melts in your mouth!

It’s also irresistible! This pasta is made with rice flour.
Italian cuisine that enjoys “rice”. It’s so firm and chewy! Isn’t this the first pasta with such elasticity?

It was great! Happy to be born in a country with good rice!
