BESPOQUE is a gastropub in Higashi-Nakano, Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is a restaurant that serves delicious homemade British food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It opened on February 22, 2012. It\u2019s just like English pub<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time, there were many working women in their 30s and 40s living alone in Higashi-Nakano. The concept of the restaurant was to provide a place where these women could enjoy a hot meal and a glass of wine casually on their way home after working late<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowaday, this restaurant, conceived from the customer’s point of view, has become a place that attracts customers who appreciate the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name BESPOQUE is from BESPOKE which means tailor-made. If you replace \u2018QU\u2019 with \u201dK”, the word becomes BESPOKE. This restaurant is just like a tailor because it aims to make everything just right for its customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a restaurant that accepts the wishes of its customers, a place where they feel at home, whether they want cake on a night when they have worked late, want to eat beef stew even though they are drinking alone, want to eat vegan food, or whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn’t wait to go to this wonderful restaurant. Every time the restaurant appeared on my friend’s Instagram, my desire to go there grew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, last week, I was able to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To order, you choose from the daily menu on the blackboard. There are some drink, beer, wine, and homemade lemon ginger juice, ginger ale, and iced tea- so even if you don’t drink alcohol, you can still enjoy yourself. The iced tea, a smoky black tea called Lapsang Souchong, goes very well with the meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That day, I had liver pate canape, roast beef salad, pork sausage, and fish and chips. Dessert was lemon Victorian cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only was the food delicious, but the owner was attentive, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was excellent. I was pleased with everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, it was the perfect place to reconnected with a friend I first met nine years ago at a Turkish bath in England. We follow each other on social media but it was nice to see each other in person. We chatted a lot for about 2 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
