As you know, there are thousands of restaurants in Tokyo. We have many kinds of Japanese restaurant; Sushi, Sukiyaki, Tempura, and so on. We have many kinds of Asian food restaurant, European, Middle Eastern, American, Brazilian, African and so. Even though, Tokyo has a big population, it happens frequently to remove restaurants, because Japanese people are "gourmets".
Last ten years, Italian restaurants have been popular in Tokyo. Japanese made "Japanese Italian". Though sounds strange, it has been popular and established status even now. Also these years, Korean restaurants are very hot in Tokyo. It was affected by Korean movies or dramas. Five years ago, almost Japanese didn't know about Korean food so much, however, we have lots of Korean food and tremendously familiar with it now.
Actually, the hottest trend restaurants is Spanish bar, though. In this a few years, increase of Spanish bar has standed out in Ebisu, Tokyo. Spanish bar has particular style which is beverage with tapa. Almost beverages and tapas are around $5, it's cheap in Ebisu. For Japanese people, French food is the ambassador as european food, and we have strong image that it's very expensive. So Spanish bars are getting popular because of the trendy image; european but not expensive.
Another reason why Spanish bars are so popular now, is the standing style. Some of the Spanish bar in Ebisu don't have chairs. It's easy for customers to mingle each other. Some of the customers in Spanish bar are foreigners. So this standing Spanish bar gives the chance to communicate with international peoples.
If you want to make international friends in Tokyo, you can go to the Spanish bar, roght now!!
