Bourbon Street was born in 1999 in a small alley in Roppongi. It is still in the original location serving top class cajun and creole dishes five days a week. Having just five tables, it is a very intimate dining experience. But because it is small, perfect service and rich flavours are easier to provide.

A simple black n white interior, polished wooden floor, crisp white tablecloths, gleaming wine glasses and a friendly host add to the attractions of Bourbon Street. The music playing in the back is handpicked by the owner everyday from his huge personal collection of N'Orleans musicians.(Aaron Neville is a hot favourite)

The food....thats`what it is all about ! Strong rich flavours with a lot of kick to it. Some of the classics like crab cakes, crawfish pies, southern fried chicken, fried catfish, blackened fish, jambalaya; etc; have never moved from the menu and are allways popular. A large part of the menu is changed every three months in order to include the seasonal bounty....stuff like scallops, oysters, softshell crabs, seabass, mushrooms, etc; Fresh cornbread is baked every day, andouille sausage is smoked in house every week and a lot of other stuff made from scratch in order to get authentic tastes. One good example is buttermilk....to marinate the fried chicken. They don't sell buttermilk in Tokyo....so we make buttermilk .... to make fried chicken ! 

Desserts..... hot pies straight from the oven, bread pudding with white choclate chips smothered in caramel sauce, rich brownies, banana fosters soaked in bourbon, fresh fruits in season and all else that u can think about that is rich and sweet.

And finally coffee to wash it all down. Chicory coffee from Cafe Du Monde in the french quarter, is imported and served with warm milk.

As is often said...let the good times roll...
