If you're looking to splurge on a beer garden experience, this is one to consider. Sekirei sits on the lawn of the stately Meiji Kinenkan hall, which is surrounded by the forest of Meiji Jingu Shrine. It’s a beautiful setting where a well-dressed crowd sip beer and wine while lounging in grand wicker chairs.
As you would expect from such a grand location, this beer garden is quite pricey. Beer starts at ¥1,300 and most of the food costs upwards of ¥1,500, with additional charges for seating and service (standard seats ¥1,000, cushioned seats ¥1,500).
There are also two all-you-can-drink packages that last two hours – course meals included. The five-course meal (¥9,000) includes dishes like Sichuan-style steamed chicken and katsu sando (pork cutlet sandwich), while the six-course (¥13,000) comes with grilled Hida beef and Shiretoko grilled mackerel sushi.
Don't let the price scare you off – this is a summer experience that’s worth paying for. Make your bookings in advance via the website.
