Hi! just to let you know that as from Dec 2017, Kichiri Ebisu does not have lunch time service anymore, and the play area is apparently gone as well. I’ve just spoken with their manager on the phone and the only one of the Kichiri brand restaurants that still has lunch service is the Shibuya one – but unfortunately, the only one that had the play area was the Ebisu one.
Just thought you’d like to update this list!
Hi Francine, Thank you so much for letting us know! We`re so sorry we didn`t catch it sooner. We`ll update the relevant posts. -Sandra
