In Shibuya’s brand-new commercial wonderland just in front of the station’s east exit, Cali-style diner Eat (7F Shibuya Hikarie; http://eatburger.jp) will be providing pale Tokyoites with a vision of Golden State life. The signature dish is the Eat burger (¥1,050), made with 100% Japanese beef and natural salt from no further than Patagonia—and no binding ingredients to screw things up. Crispy, freshly made buns and a homemade southern sauce are added to finish the job. The menu also features Tex-Mex classics like burritos (¥1,260), and a frozen margarita just in time for the heat (¥840).
