When the humidity in the city rises, you start to crave spicy food. Longrain, a modern Thai restaurant from Australia, is a must-see address for stylish adults.
If you make a reservation, be sure to request a window seat. The view of Tokyo outside the window is beautiful day or night. From the 39th floor of Yebisu Garden Place, the view is unobstructed, and on a clear day, you can see Tokyo Tower and the skyscrapers in central Tokyo, as well as Rainbow Bridge by the sea. By capturing the skyline above the city you usually view from below, you're sure to discover a new beauty in Tokyo.
The view from the magic hour, when the veil of summer night falls, is particularly beautiful, so weekend dinners start early at 6pm ◎
The name Long Rain is a combination of "long" and "grain," referring to the oblong Thai rice. One reason for this is that all of the dishes go so well with rice. A variety of flavors, including sweet, spicy, and sour, come one after another like waves on a single plate. This enjoyable rhythm will further enrich your time with others.
Let's start with a colorful cocktail. Long Rain offers the same menu as in Australia, but the only original Japanese feature are the non-alcoholic cocktails. There's a lineup of five vibrantly colored non-alcoholic cocktails, a welcome consideration for those who don't like alcohol.
Long Rain's recommended dinner course starts with the appetizer "Miang Kham," which means "eat in one bite" in Thai. This finger food is made with a Thai vegetable called Bai Chapu (known in Japanese as Haigosho) wrapped around fresh citrus and coconut, and has a gentle flavor that's perfect for starting off your meal.
"Miang Kham" Squid and Turmeric Lemongrass Bai Chapu" and "Miang Kham" Fresh Citrus and Coconut." The course costs 5,800 yen per person. Next comes the "Egg Net" bean sprout salad, with a beautiful egg veil, and "Deep-fried seafood spring rolls with Thai basil and green nam jim sauce," followed by the meat plate "Crying Tiger" hot and sour sauce. In addition to beef skirt steak, you can also choose short rib (+700 yen per person) or fillet (+1,000 yen per person). The name "Crying Tiger" comes from the fact that it is "so spicy that even a tiger would cry." If you add too much of the chili peppers that come with it, it will cause chaos in your mouth, so go in moderation.

Next up were "Oyster Stir-fried Asian Green Vegetables" and "Seafood Green Curry." Curry is one of Long Rain's most popular dishes. There are three types on the regular menu, but this shrimp curry, made with plenty of coconut milk, is highly acclaimed for its gradually building spiciness. When you try it, it's certainly a lineup that goes very well with white rice.
The final dessert was a dish from Long Rain's seasonal selection. The choice on this day was "Taro Pudding with Cashew Nut Ice Cream and Coconut Sauce." You can choose your after-meal drink, but we recommend the Thai tea.
It may seem a little strange to have Thai food in Australia, but that's based on the life experiences of founder and owner Sam Christie. He has loved traveling since he was young, and has worked at Terence Conran's Quaglino's in the UK and Tetsuya's in Australia, which combines the essence of Japanese cuisine with French cuisine. Having visited real places and experienced adventures in the culinary world, the restaurants he creates offer a sophisticated style, but without losing their essence of respecting the original culture. The same can be said for THE APOLLO, a Greek restaurant also located in Ginza.

The music played in the restaurant was selected by founder and owner Sam Christie, and there's a reason why it's a little up-tempo. That's because he believes that "hot food should be paired with music that makes you feel hot."
The speakers installed are JBL. By placing a woofer and enhancing the bass, the sound is given depth, and the restaurant aims to create a comfortable space that won't interfere with conversations while diners are dining. In addition, JBL speakers are embedded in the ceiling of the window seats, creating the feeling that the sound is falling down on you - an experience that's hard to get at home.
