Upon entering The Jade Room + Garden Terrace, guests will be welcomed through an entrance graced with photography by Masao Yamamoto and met with a lively and atmospheric space. The venue features flooring and walls of rich walnut panelling, circular banquettes, elegant counter seating with jewel green stools and custom commissioned paintings by artist John Jackson. The space is finished with six distinguished bamboo oak trees and 200 potted plants, transporting diners into an enchanted garden within the metropolis of the Toranomon district.

The Jade Room also features two private dining rooms, seating 8 and 14 respectively, where guests can enjoy tailored and carefully curated menus for their taste and predilection. Each room is enveloped in hand-crafted Japanese Washi paper, the rooms give a foremost panoramic view of the city centre through layers of shimmering sheer drapery and the lush greenery of the exterior terrace.

Garden Terrace 

Just a step out of Jade Room, is Garden Terrace, sitting 460ft above ground overlooking the city.  Open throughout the summer season, Garden Terrace has seasonally changing greenery, creating a serene and inviting space where guests are sheltered from the busy pace of city life. Garden Terrace offers a menu of cocktails, alongside sharing small plates that include lobster rolls with sudachi spiced mayo, nori, and fried cabbage; house-made ricotta with pickled beets and Sichuan cucumber; scallops marinated with passionfruit and vanilla; and hand-chopped beef tartare with maple egg yolk and onion crumble.

The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon represents a very delicate balancing act between the refined, elegant, simple, and pure approach of Japan’s culture, style, and traditions and EDITION’s passion, emotion, sophistication, perpetual subversion of the status quo, and desire to break the rules to create something entirely new and that has never been seen before.
