Gonpachi Nishi-Azabu 権八 西麻布

The cavernous wooden izakaya-restaurant that inspired Kill Bill's 'House of Blue Leaves' fight scene: soba, yakitori and robata in a three-level Edo-style hall.

About

Gonpachi's main dining hall is a dramatic timber atrium with balcony seating, lanterns and an open kitchen, and Quentin Tarantino's set designers modelled the Kill Bill showdown room on it (the film itself was shot on a Beijing soundstage). The menu is a crowd-pleaser: handmade soba, yakitori, robata-grilled skewers, tempura, plus a separate sushi floor upstairs. Celebrities and visiting heads of state have dined here, and it stays open very late.

Highlights

• Three-storey wooden hall with balconies, the Kill Bill inspiration
• Handmade soba and robata-grilled skewers
• Upstairs sushi counter and a garden-view private room level
• Open until the small hours

Tips

• Book a table on the balcony overlooking the main floor
• Lunch sets are much cheaper than dinner
• Late-night after-party spot for Roppongi/Nishi-Azabu
