Temari is a traditional Japanese handball used as a toy and gradually became an art as the time passed, with the functional stitching becoming more decorative and detailed. Nanairo Temari Uta has made a sensational way of making the Temari (that is merely an old colorful object) well known and useful by turning it into a colorful cozy room for people to sit. Once you go inside the giant Temari, there is a round table placed in the center of the room and comfortable seats that goes around it making it cozy and easy to have chat with families and friends. The main color used for the Temari seats is red which makes the whole ambiance quite passionate and fairytale-like.

The focus in this restaurant are the round shaped Temari sushi (price varies between 150 - 350 yen for each depends on what you want to order) and tsukune (chicken meatloaf which price also varies between 280 - 320 yen).

We have enjoyed salmon eggs, engawa (meat at the base of a flatfish fin), young yellowtail, and medium fatty tuna for sushi and grated daikon with ponzu vinegar.

For your information, if you want to have seats at one of those giant temaris, it would be better to make a booking in advance.

Well it was damn hard to pronounce the name of this place right but surely good to stop by while you are in Tokyo. The Temari seats were little too small for us the giants but it was certainly a great experience. We loved the Temari sushi. We'd give 5 star for that one. Picrumb did a great job on guiding us to this restaurant as well. Thanx for your help!
