Si vous cherchez un endroit où diner au coucher de soleil à Odaiba, SURTOUT rendez-vous au barbecue en terrasse Weber Park au dernier étage d'AQUA CiTY ODAIBA.
Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, Weber est une chaîne de barbecue américaine ouverte à Chicago en 1952. C'est aussi les premiers à proposer des barbecues avec un couvercle! L'histoire est d'ailleurs intéressante; cela a commencé en coupant une bouée en deux pour protéger la viande des vents de la ville. Et maintenant, Weber a décidé d'ouvrir son premier barbecue à Odaiba!!
Ce qui rend cette terrasse à barbecue spéciale est le fait que le restaurant est moins mis en avant que la vue et l'endroit où vous êtes. On ne vous impose pas la marque Weber, mais au contraire, vous laisse apprécier le paysage tout en savourant de la bonne nourriture et en apprenant à comprendre les différents grills. Vous en trouverez trois: à charbon, à gaz ou à l'électricité (vous payez pour un grill puis pouvez utiliser chacun d'eux comme vous le souhaitez).
Weber va bientôt ouvrir une "Grill Academy" pour vous apprendre à faire de délicieux barbecue, donc tenez-vous au jus!
