Yesterday, during my business trip to Tokyo, after work we had a "reflection meeting" at the "Share Lounge" inside the TSUTAYA located in Marunouchi Building, right in front of Tokyo Station's Marunouchi South Exit. The Share Lounge is a place where you can have meetings, read books, enjoy unlimited drinks and snacks. They offer an "Alcohol Plan" which allows you to enjoy alcoholic beverages. I used the Alcohol Plan for 1 hour. There were a variety of snacks and drinks available, including different types of beer, wine, vodka, cider, and soft drinks. I tried three different beers - Hoegaarden White, Hoegaarden Rosé, and Stella Artois. I also had white wine, apricot juice, cream bread from Shimizu-ya, Nikka cider, and Lemon Lager. The location was convenient, the prices were reasonable, and I had a great time trying out the different drinks and snacks available.

Making a reservation through the app is very convenient. I used it when I wanted to focus at a specific time. The window seats offer a view of Tokyo Station, making it a great place for some alone time. They have a variety of hot and iced drinks to choose from, so you can enjoy based on your mood. You can choose two out of three types of bread, but you can only have one cream bread per person. There are also several types of yogurt available, which you can have as much as you like. What's great is that they have a wide variety of snacks (nuts, dried fruits, vegetable chips, rice crackers), so you can pair them with your favorite tea and let your imagination run wild! There are also seats where you can chat, so it's not completely quiet, but the high ceilings give you a sense of openness. For those who want to relax, I recommend getting the all-day ticket!

I made a reservation with a friend for Saturday afternoon at 3:30. The reservation seemed to be full. We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation time and were able to check in. We sat at a table with a view of Tokyo Station. I was a little hungry, so I brought Oreos, cake, bread, snacks, nuts, etc. to the table. My friend was eating a cold cream bun from the fridge. We had decaf coffee to drink. I also had some rice crackers and nuts because I wanted something salty. We were able to relax and chat slowly. The view of Tokyo Station from the window was beautiful, and the location was very nice. I recommend it. Thank you for the meal.

On the first day of Obon, I visited with my two daughters at 2:15 PM for the second time. Wow, it's crowded! It's crowded! We were able to get in smoothly because we made a reservation for three people, but it might have been difficult for two people to get in. The quality of the bread seemed to have dropped compared to our last visit, and there weren't any fluffy delicious bread in the fridge... I wonder if the menu has changed? The minestrone soup was delicious though!

The bread includes croissants, muffins, and other items similar to other stores. They also offer Smirnoff and light alcoholic drinks. The atmosphere is quite nice with high ceilings. The service is average. Currently, in terms of sweets, drinks, and everything else, Daikanyama is the best. Personally, I would rate it higher than Ebisu but lower than Daikanyama.

At 14:45 on a regular day, I visited this place with a friend for the first time. The restaurant was about 80% full and quite busy. If you make a reservation through the app in advance, you can get a 10% discount. The price for one hour of use is 1485 yen including tax. You can choose any available seat. Everyone seems to be working on their laptops, maybe they are all freelancers? We came here to eat seriously, so we indulged in eating for one hour. You can have up to 2 pieces of bread per person, which you can toast yourself, although it was a bit tricky with the water and all. The yogurt and the fluffy bread in the fridge are limited to one per person. I recommend adding almond milk to the iced coffee and enjoying it. If you only have one hour, you might not have time to read a book. Well, I don't think there are many people who come here just to eat seriously, but you can still enjoy yourself here. There may be more variety of sweets in Futako Tamagawa, but here is also enjoyable. The view is nice, the sofa is comfy, it's great! I might come here alone again and enjoy eating lots of sweets, feeling happy. ＼(^^)／

A very lovely and elegant space. The morning sun was dazzling, but I managed to keep a window seat overlooking Tokyo Station. You can enjoy food and drinks as much as you like. (The cake and scones in the photo were limited to two per person.) I also found a great book, "How to Polish Your Resolve," and read it all at once, shedding a tear. I love the Share Lounge. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

I visited a shop on the 4th floor of Marunouchi Building right in front of Tokyo Station for the first time. There was a TSUTAYA in front of the shop, which seemed to be collaborating, but at night TSUTAYA closed and it was just a regular Starbucks. On that day, I had a hot Tokyo Roast drip coffee.

Marunouchi Building 3rd floor, at the back of TSUTAYA, the alcohol plan costs 2200 yen per hour. Is it expensive? No, for the time spent enjoying the view of Tokyo Station, with a cold beer in hand and a book, it is quite reasonable. The various snacks, Maison Ichi bread, instant soups, all may seem cheap at first glance, but when paired with alcohol, they become an excellent combination, an exquisite dish. There are also yogurts and cream bread, suitable for any time of the day. The large windows offer stunning views, including the night view of the restaurant district in Marunouchi Building, with seats that are hard to reserve. On weekends during the day, forget about work and just relax in this ideal environment.

The TSUTAYA BOOKSTORE SHARE LOUNGE is so cozy that it's addictive. It's located within TSUTAYA, but it's not a Starbucks. It's a shared lounge at TSUTAYA that has been opening one after another recently. It opened on the 4th floor of Marunouchi Building on December 15, 2022, and until January 2023, you can use it at a significant discount of 1320 yen per hour (20% off). To be clear, the service is too good for the price. There are plenty of snacks and drinks available for all-you-can-eat and drink. If you choose the alcohol plan, beer and other alcoholic beverages are also all-you-can-drink. There are power outlets, so you can read a book while looking out at Tokyo Station, or work on your PC. It's the best. Taste 3.0, Service 4.5, Atmosphere 5.0, Cost Performance 3.7, Drinks 3.3, Overall (average) 3.9. The service and atmosphere are so good that even with an average score, it still received a high rating. #TSUTAYABOOKSTORESHARELOUNGE #tsutayabookstore #tsutayabookstoremarunouchi

Free drinks and free food at the TSUTAYA Share Lounge in front of Tokyo Station at [Maru Building] 3rd floor♪ Just opened on 12/15, and until 1/31, there is a special open price for app payments. For alcohol plan, the first 60 minutes get an additional 10% off from the open price (credit card registration/payment required). When arriving before 7 pm on weekdays, the place is not crowded yet. Check-in is quick using the app's QR code at the entrance. You can explore the store after putting on the neck strap for the alcohol plan. There are counter seats for 2 people, table seats for 2, and box seats for 3 or more. You can request a specific type of seat when making a reservation, but if available, you can sit in other seats. Since it's not crowded, I was able to get a spacious box seat. There are 3 types of beer on tap, 1 type of highball on tap, and other self-service drinks from the fridge. Unfortunately, they didn't have Hoppy that was available at Shibuya and Tamachi stores. Of course, there are also various soft drinks. The food includes nuts, pretzel bars, bread, snacks, freeze-dried soups, and even yogurt in the fridge. There are power outlets at the tables, and it's convenient that they lend out chargers for free. For someone like me who loves alcohol and snacks, this place is like heaven with the 60-minute all-you-can-eat and drink option. You can easily settle the bill using the app's QR code. The regular price for the alcohol plan is 2200 yen (tax included) for 60 minutes, but until 1/31, it's 1760 yen, and with the app payment, it's 1584 yen. The soft drink plan is now 1320 yen instead of 1650 yen. Please refer to the 17th image for more details (note: prices may vary by store). After enjoying the Marunouchi illumination a little bit, my companion said, "I thought you preferred substance over style," but oh well! So, that's my first post, and I got it☆

I usually use Maruzen Lounge, but decided to try this place for a change of pace. It was a bit pricey at around 1600 yen per hour. The food and drink selection was good, but the atmosphere was uncomfortable for me. People were constantly talking on the phone and the sound of keyboards being typed was distracting. It was hard to focus on reading quietly. It might be a good place to come with family or friends to chat, but not suitable for those who want a quiet place to work, read, or study.

There was yogurt, snacks, and drinks available, but there was a time limit so all we could do was keep eating haha. I couldn't relax too much.
