Charcoal Grill Green Ishikawacho

Nice and Cozy.
English and Japanese Menu.
Great Mojito. Wine, Heineken on draft.
Fries are unique and tasty… fish and chips are second to none!
2 minute walking distance from Ishawakacho (sp) train station.
English speaking wait staff.
Beautiful women… great date spot, not too low key but low enough.
Watch the cook prepare your meal properly… you’ll have front row seats at the bar area…
Overall, great spot for dinner, R&B variety music, food and drink.
Dress nice and enjoy this quaint, elegant «grown folk» spot any night of the week!
Oh, and don’t be surprised to see your fellow Americans there… they frequent the establishment and won’t hesitate to say hello.

I vacillated between three and four stars for Green – I gave it four out hopefulness. I quite like the food – eclectic bistro/​pub grub with rotating specials – and the atmosphere – cosy casual. The staff is nice and generally accommodating. The menu (bilingual) is heavy on the meat end of things but they’re pretty good about leaving ingredients out of dishes that haven’t been prepared in advance.
Green touts itself as a craft beer bar but they have a limited number of taps (four or five), one of which is occupied by Kirin’s fake craft beer Heartland. That never bodes well. … Except quite often, of the remaining taps, there’s something I want. The price is reasonable.
What annoys me most about this place is that it’s only non-​smoking until 9 pm, as if at that magical hour, someone lighting up isn’t going to stink up the place and detract from the flavor of the food and beer, as well as the atmosphere. Just ban smoking altogether like truly civilized places already do.
*There are three locations of Green. This is the coziest.
