Between Ochanomizu and Awajicho, a new building suddenly appeared. It's called "WATERRAS," not water, but "WATERRAS." It just opened on April 12, on the site of the former Awajicho Elementary School. There are chairs and tables available for anyone to use at the end of the escalator, where you can spend some time on your PC. Remember this place, it might be convenient. It was a little before 6 o'clock, so it was not crowded, but I think it will be very busy during lunchtime. I visited this restaurant with two friends for a meetup. The name of the restaurant is "Terrace8890." The entrance is quite stylish, with a black color scheme but also a warmth of wood. They use high-quality ingredients to create exquisite and reasonably priced pasta dishes! This place looks surprisingly open and spacious. I thought it was a tapestry, but it turned out to be a cloth made by connecting hand towels together. The space is like a hotel lounge, with spacious and comfortable sofa seats, as well as individual computer desk-type seats. We relaxed on the comfortable sofa seats and had a great time. We started with a toast with bubbles. It's still bright outside even though it's past 6 o'clock. We asked for the recommended appetizers and chose the most popular Caprese. We also tried the Fried Squid, which we were curious about. The squid was light and fluffy with a crispy coating, and the squid inside was tender and delicious. The Rocket and Prosciutto Salad was a generous portion, even when shared among three people. The saltiness of the prosciutto was just right, and the dressing was mild with little acidity. The luxurious Peperoncino with snow crab and king crab was amazing. Look at the size of that king crab leg! I love crab, but my kids don't, so I always look forward to enjoying it outside. The sign was accurate, as they really used plenty of high-quality ingredients at affordable prices. We were completely satisfied. My friends also ordered some sweets. I just took a photo! It's great that they operate without a break during break time and don't charge a service fee at night! This is honestly very helpful. I would like to try their affordable lunchtime menu next time.

In a spacious setting, I enjoyed light jazz piano music. They offer not only coffee but also freshly made smoothies without sugar, making it a good choice for those with a healthy lifestyle. With wifi available, it seems like a versatile space for working, reading books, and more!

This is "Terrace 8890," a community cafe lounge located on the 3rd floor of the Terrace Tower Common, a complex facility built on the former site of the Chuo Ward's Awaji Elementary School near JR Ochanomizu Station. The interior of the cafe features high ceilings and large glass windows that allow natural light to fill the space. One of its main highlights is the design of the ceiling, which is modeled after the auditorium of the old Awaji Elementary School. When we visited for lunch, we ordered the following items: Lunch - Beef Sirloin Steak (Black Pepper Sauce) for 1300 yen, Lunch - 100% Beef Special Half Pound Handmade Hamburger (Black Pepper Sauce) for 1200 yen. Each lunch came with soup and a lunch drink. The beef sirloin steak was reasonably delicious. The 100% beef half pound hamburger was a large 225g patty made of coarse ground beef, packed with rich flavor and a satisfying texture. Both dishes were served with potato salad and sautéed spinach and corn as sides.

Lunch. A hearty salad and soup. The dressing was French. It was fresh but a bit difficult to eat. I wish there was more salmon in it. + Cake set. The food and dessert were average, but it was nice to be able to chat leisurely on a weekday. Thank you for the meal.

Kanda Awajicho Community Cafe Lounge "Terrace 8890" is located in the "WATERRAS" complex in Kanda Awajicho, which was created as part of a large-scale redevelopment project in the Kanda and Ochanomizu area. The space features high ceilings and large glass windows that allow natural light to flood in. The design of the ceiling is inspired by the old auditorium of the former Awajicho Elementary School, blending the old and new elements of Kanda. The name "8890" represents the character "粋" in kanji, with the strokes and radical totaling 8890, symbolizing the essence of Kanda. The lunch menu includes options like Wellness Sandwich Lunch, weekly pasta, weekly curry, and a 100% beef half-pound hamburger. The reviewer ordered the 100% Beef Half-Pound Hamburger, which was served with soup, rice, and a drink. The soup was a colorful vegetable consomme, while the hamburger was juicy and flavorful, served with a unique sauce and sides. The reviewer also enjoyed the rice and iced coffee that came with the meal. The service was prompt, and the reviewer found the space to be pleasant, expressing a desire to return for a cafe visit. The second floor also houses a shop called "Rin 8890," featuring a selection of Japanese design items that blend modern lifestyle with traditional craftsmanship.

I visited this restaurant for a slightly late lunch. I wanted to order the panini set, but it was sold out, so I went with the pasta set instead. It had a creamy flavor and was delicious. The portion size was a bit small, more suitable for those with a smaller appetite, especially women. In terms of price, it was average for Ochanomizu. The interior of the restaurant is not very spacious, but it has high ceilings which create a sense of openness. Since it's a cafe within an office building, there were several groups of office workers having a late lunch in the afternoon. However, it's also a comfortable atmosphere for individuals, making it easy to relax. It could also be a good place to read a book. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.

I completed the restaurant street at Waterras, but there was still a cafe restaurant in the neighboring Common Tower. It's quite spacious and convenient for employees of the tenant companies in this building. The lunch menu is extensive, but let's go for the quick curry. "Daily Spicy Chicken Curry" (1,000 yen) it is. By the way, if you take this out, for some reason it becomes 500 yen. The difference is whether it comes with salad, soup, and a drink. All seats have acrylic panels for splash prevention, and except for the 2-person seats, it feels like a library. The food is served quickly. Next to the chicken curry is rice, and on top of that are stir-fried vegetables. The salad is mainly watercress for cost-cutting. The dressing has a nice cheesy flavor. Now, the important part, the curry is not as spicy as it claims to be. However, it's a relief that it's not a commercial retort curry. The chicken seems to be stewed thoroughly, and it's tender. This is tastier than a casual Indian-Nepalese chicken curry. The stir-fried vegetables are also delicious... I wish there was a bit more of it. The curry isn't too spicy, so the rice doesn't seem to decrease (laughs). It might be better if it was a bit spicier. But this amount is just right for the stomach. Finished with an iced coffee after the meal. There are many female customers in the store, so despite the number of seats, the turnover is not high, so be careful.

Over the weekend, I enjoyed a coffee at Terrace 8890 in Waterras and used it to relax for about 30 minutes. I was able to sit far away from other customers, read a book, and enjoy a delicious coffee. I like this shop because it is calm and I often use it. Thank you for the meal. Thank you very much.

Cafe in Ochanomizu. It's located about a 2-3 minute walk from Ochanomizu Station. It's on the 3rd floor of WATERRAS MALL. The 1st floor is a free lounge (probably for residents), the 2nd floor is a space like a book library, and the 3rd floor is the cafe. I went there around 3:30 pm on Saturday and it was about 70% full. I ordered the following: Seidel Blend (610 yen). You can enjoy Scandinavian black tea here. It seems to be the most popular blend of Scandinavian black tea, served even at the Nobel Prize award ceremony dinner. It has a flavor similar to Ceylon tea and a herbal aroma. I just had tea since I had eaten a lot, but it seems like the pasta and hamburger here are delicious too. I often come to WATERRAS for shopping, so I'll try having lunch here next time. Thank you for the meal! ✨

On the 3rd floor of Waterras, there is a quiet and beautiful cafe where many people are working on their laptops in a nomad-friendly environment. They have outlets and Wi-Fi available. I tried the Mont Blanc and chiffon cake, along with a blend coffee. The Mont Blanc had a gentle sweetness, while the coffee was deep and delicious. The unique cups added to the experience.

I was able to enjoy the lunch menu even after 3:00 pm, so I decided to try it out! The spacious interior with high ceilings was very open and uplifting. I ordered the beef sirloin steak cooked medium rare, and it was delicious! The tomato sauce had a salsa-like taste, and although the sauce itself was tasty, it seemed to be overshadowed by the steak when eaten together. I chose hot tea as my drink, but it came in a takeout cup. I wish it had been served in a tea cup instead.

While looking for a cafe after lunch on the terrace, I came across a charming cafe with a sense of openness. The ceiling is high and you can overlook the exhibition space downstairs. I had a drip coffee, served in a beautiful coffee cup that I would love to buy and take home. The cafe latte cups for the kids were also quite nice.

I spent about an hour in Kanda trying to kill time. I was a bit undecided on where to spend my time, so I ended up coming here at WATERRAS. I enjoyed a cup of coffee and spent about an hour reading. I like it here because it's a calm and relaxing place. In the evening, WATERRAS is illuminated with beautiful lights. Thank you for the meal.

I woke up late today and I feel like just hanging out at a cafe after lunch. I found this place that offers a lunch set with cafe included until 3pm. The prices are reasonable, around 1000-1200 yen. I chose the 1000 yen Hainan Chicken Rice plate. It came with soup and salad, great value for the price! The chicken was skinless breast meat, 4 pieces, surprisingly filling. The moist chicken was tender and had a subtle saltiness. But the best part was the jasmine-scented rice, it was amazing! I was surprised to find such refined Hainan Rice at a cafe. The vegetable consomme soup had a nice aroma and a unique flavor. For my drink, I chose the Honey Tea, which was black tea with honey. The aroma and slight sweetness of the honey was very soothing. This place has become my favorite!

This is a restaurant on the 3rd floor of Watasu Common Hall. It might be better to call it a cafe. I went there for a research group's farewell party. We talked about the past and the future. We talked a lot, laughed, got angry, cried, shouted - it was tough, but having friends there made me really happy. I was glad we could all toast together at this cafe. We had a course meal with salad, plate dishes, and cake for dessert. I only managed to take a picture of the meat dish, roast beef. The sauce and seasoning were delicious. It disappeared quickly. Pizza was also served, a casual dish. Today was a memorable day for everyone. We enjoyed the meal. Thank you for the feast!

In 2013, a complex facility called "WATERRAS" was opened on the site of the former Chiyoda Ward Awajisho Elementary School. It consists of WATERRAS Tower and WATERRAS Annex. On the first to third floors on the south side of WATERRAS Tower, there is a convenient facility called WATERRAS Common. The first floor has a salon and a gardening shop called "Hana-Koyomi 8890". The second floor has a gallery, library, and concept store called "Rin 8890". The third floor has a hall and a cafe lounge called "Terrace 8890". The first and second floors also serve as open spaces. There are outlets available, making it suitable for some work. The cafe on the third floor is spacious and relaxing. After participating in an event at Sora City, I stopped by the cafe on the third floor. Ice Cafe Latte: 500 yen. The espresso is strong, and the milk is rich. Outlets are also available. I was able to relax in the quiet space, similar to a hotel lounge.

Today is Marine Day, but the weather is not favorable. However, the forecast in the morning predicted that the rain would stop around noon, so I decided to plan my food log activities, including the revenge visit to the bakery that I had to give up on the previous day due to rain. I decided to have lunch in the Awajicho area. As a result, I came up with a list of restaurants near Awajicho Station, and one of them was this restaurant. This restaurant is located inside WATERRAS (ワテラス), which is close to Awajicho Station. WATERRAS is a complex facility built on the site of the former Awajicho Elementary School in Chiyoda Ward, as part of the "Awajicho 2-chome West District Type 1 Urban Redevelopment Project." The concept is to "inherit the good traditions and nurture a new community." It consists of offices, commercial facilities, residences, and emphasizes community interaction, with community facilities and student dormitories also provided. It is mainly composed of the high-rise building "WATERRAS TOWER" and the separate building "WATERRAS ANNEX," with a garden themed around "water and greenery," and is adjacent to the Sora City complex developed at the same time. This restaurant is located on the 3rd floor of "WATERRAS COMMON" in WATERRAS TOWER. WATERRAS COMMON has a hall with a large 250-inch screen adjacent to this restaurant on the 3rd floor, a gardening shop and salon on the 1st floor, and a gallery, library, and concept store on the 2nd floor. I arrived at WATERRAS a little after 11 am, which is the opening time of this restaurant. I took the escalator to the 3rd floor from the front entrance, entered WATERRAS TOWER on the left, and naturally arrived in WATERRAS COMMON in front of this restaurant. I entered the restaurant around 11:10 am. The interior of the restaurant has a spacious atmosphere, with chairs mostly in sofa form arranged comfortably. In consideration of group dining, large table seats are also provided. One of the features of this restaurant is that the ceiling design is modeled after the old Awajicho Elementary School auditorium. It serves as a space for office workers, visitors to the area, and a place for local residents to pass on memories and community built over the years in a new form. There were only two female customers when I arrived. The staff told me to choose any seat I like, so I sat at a 2-person table seat overlooking the 2nd floor. The lunch menu was placed on the table. It stated that it was the weekend version, so it seemed different from the weekday menu. There were 5 menu items, including Hainan Chicken Rice, Panini, Hamburger, Pasta, and Grilled Kalbi, featuring international cuisine. The prices were 1,200 yen for all items except for Hainan Chicken Rice, which was 1,000 yen. I ordered the Terass 8890 special Hamburger with Foie Gras. The Foie Gras was a weekend version bonus, which made me think that the weekend version of this restaurant offers higher performance than the weekday menu. Due to its location in an office district, it may not struggle to attract customers on weekdays, but it may not attract many people on holidays. In this regard, suburban shopping centers tend to offer better deals on weekday menus. The lunch set includes a main plate, salad, rice, soup, and a drink. I chose Ginger Ale for my drink. I was asked about the timing of my drink, so I requested it to be served with the food. After waiting for about 4 minutes, the salad, soup, and Ginger Ale were served. Then, about 4 minutes later, the Hamburger plate and rice were brought to me. The salad was a mini size, with ham strips on top of sunny lettuce, dressed with French dressing. It was a small portion that disappeared in almost one bite. The Hamburger was cooked thoroughly, not overflowing with juices, but it was juicy enough and quite tasty. The deliciousness of the Foie Gras goes without saying, but the weekend version of this restaurant seems to offer a higher level of performance than the weekday menu.

Terrace8890 in Shin-Ochanomizu, at the WATerras Tower Common 3F, offers a wide variety of drinks. I often walk around the Awajicho neighborhood, which I love, but I had no idea about this WATerras Common Tower until recently. It has been open for over 5 years already. The area seemed to be under construction for a while, but I had no idea such a nice building and space had been created. I attended a gathering of a certain organization where we had a tour of the building, followed by a party in one of its spaces. Terrace8890 is a combination of the numbers 88 and 90, which is considered stylish. Only in Kanda! However, it's difficult to describe the neighborhood names around here. In a broad sense, it's all Kanda. The party was set up with food already out for self-service, and we had to go to the tables to get our own food. There were around 20 people at the gathering, and we were constantly moving around. Sparkling wine and Dassai sake were unlimited. The staff were kind enough to come around and take orders for the unlimited drinks. The food was a bit lacking, but the variety of drinks, except for sake, was impressive. Pitchers of wine, beer, highballs, and more were available. We ended with dessert.

The reviewer chose a slightly more expensive restaurant for their companion's birthday, as the lunch experience had been enjoyable in the past. However, upon entering the restaurant for dinner, they were surprised to find that the menu was mostly focused on alcohol and only had three pages of food options. The lack of explanation for the daily specials like quiche and cake was also disappointing. Despite this, they ordered shrimp and avocado spring rolls, seafood risotto, and beef tendon and potato pizza. The spring rolls were fresh and delicious, the risotto was flavorful but heavy on the white wine, and the pizza was a standout dish. The service was lacking in attentiveness, especially given the small number of customers. Overall, they felt that the meal was satisfying and good value for money at around ¥3000 for two people.

I had lunch at a cafe inside Ochanomizu Wa-Terras. They offer dishes like hamburger foie gras and steak, but today I had a panini, like a roast beef sandwich. It comes with salad, soup, and potato fries as a side, which helped keep me full. I was satisfied with the amount of vegetables I could consume. They have a variety of drinks available, and they come in paper cups with lids, making it convenient for takeout. Time flies by during a one-hour lunch break. Thank you for the meal!

I walked a little from the station to avoid the crowds during Golden Week and ended up here. The surrounding area, with its office buildings, was quiet and pleasant. I ordered the hamburger lunch, which came with foie gras - a delightful surprise! The potatoes were freshly fried and delicious. The cost performance is quite good. The iced coffee was a bit bitter but tasty. The staff's attentive yet unobtrusive service was also nice.
