“DECKS Tokyo Beach,” a popular commercial complex, occupies the best location in Odaiba and charms many visitors with its panoramic views. During the cherry blossom season, it will offer Special Spring Food Menu from March 17 (Mon.) through April 18 (Fri.), featuring famous Japanese food at reasonable prices.

1. Spring-only New Menu at Takoyaki Museum

“Odaiba Takoyaki Museum” specializes in takoyaki (dumpling-like pastry stuffed with diced octopus), an affordable delicacy in Japan. Five popular stores from Osaka – home to takoyaki – are here. Special spring menus are offered from March 17 through April 18. “Mentai Mayo and Drink Set” for 810 yen is a set of takoyaki with diced yam potatoes cooked in Japanese dashi stock folded in, topped with mentai mayo (cod roe pickled in red pepper powder mixed in mayonnaise) prepared by a former chef of a “washoku” restaurant, plus a soft drink. At “Tennoji Abeno Takoyaki Yama-chan,” a special set of 36 takoyaki dumplings in six flavors – Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, pungent, yuzu-and-soy sauce, leak-and-salt and plain – comes with four soft drinks for 2,857 yen (not including tax).

2. Dining with “Rainbow Bridge” view in Tokyo Bay

Now registered as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage, “Washoku (Japanese cuisine)” is attracting increasing attention overseas. The Daiba branch of “Tsukiji Tama Sushi” offers popular sushi as well as the panoramic views of “Tokyo Rainbow Bridge” and “Tokyo Tower.” The menu is also available in English, Chinese and Korean.

The Daiba branch of “Tsukiji Uemura,” whose main store won a star from Michelin last year, offers authentic washoku meals.
