The entire CHAOS KITCHEN environment design is from the architect Fujimoto Sosuke, imitating the image of Shibuya alley, allowing everyone to shuttle between the paths, and every time they turn a corner, they will have a surprise feeling.
CHAOS KITCHEN The coolest restaurant in Tokyo is the bird, beast and insect izakaya “Mito CIRCUS” specializing in insect wild flavors that have been popular for a while. The space is like entering a psychedelic world, a row of glass jars filled with insects that are shocking, and the restaurant sells various strange beasts and insects dishes, including insect ice cream, insect rice balls, giant centipedes, and alligator feet.
There is also a futuristic “Future Japan Hotel & SAKE BAR” where you can enjoy a variety of Japanese sake flavors.

After becoming popular, it opened a hamburger patty store, an offal pot store, and a beef tongue store. The Shibuya Parco store is a hamburger patty store. Its signature dish “Half-cooked Hamburger Patty” uses Iwami beef, a brand of black-haired beef from Kyushu as the main ingredient. The hamburger patty can be cooked to the desired doneness and has 6 flavors. It is so delicious.
