The Keio Plaza hotel has a vast variety of restaurants from the take-away sort to fine dining. Jurin is a nice compromise for the weary traveler. Better than the typical hotel coffee shop, it features tasty food served very nicely. The large windows feature a garden view, a real luxury in the heart of Tokyo. The menu featured 3 methods of communication: English, Japanese and beautiful photos. I had a California style lightly cooked arrangement of very fresh vegetables with pasta and green tea. My husband had a very nice glass of a French red wine and deep-fried giant prawns. Our waiter served his tables with a skill level in languages that suited those who wished to speak English, Japanese, French and German. No misunderstandings, no rush and, typical of Japan, no tipping.
My mother loved the word 'civil' as in 'he is a very civil person.’ The Japanese are very civil, very kind and very hospitable. There is a degree of kindness that one usually doesn't find in a big city hotel. A real concern that you have the food you wish to eat, that it is prepared as you like and that you enjoy eating it. Even with people waiting for tables, you aren't rushed. The table is yours as long as you want it.
This restaurant is open from 5am to 11:30pm with 24 hour 'In Room Dining' filling in the closed hours.
