New Culinary Gem in Shinjuku: Bistro BOO

On September 17, 2023, a delightful new French bistro opened its doors in the heart of Shinjuku, Tokyo. Named 'Bistro BOO,' the restaurant is the brainchild of the former head chef and manager from ‘Ore no French,’ aiming to provide accessible French dining for everyday occasions.

About Bistro BOO

Bistro BOO derives its name from the French word 'boue,' which means mud, symbolizing the essence of authentic flavors born from the earth. This concept reflects the bistro's commitment to using carefully selected ingredients for every dish.

The restaurant boasts a warm wooden-dominated exterior and interior that creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It is an ideal setting for various dining experiences, whether it be a casual dinner after work, a fun night out with friends, or a romantic date.

Location and Access

Located at 3-11 Arakicho in Shinjuku's Forest Building on the 1st floor, Bistro BOO is conveniently situated just three minutes on foot from Yotsuya-Sanchome Station’s exit 4. After leaving the station, guests can head along Shinjuku Street towards Yotsuya and take a turn into Sharikumon Street between Mizuho Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ.

Dining Experience

With the capacity to cater to different occasions, Bistro BOO features terrace seating that enhances the dining experience, especially when shared with good friends over excellent food and wine.

Menu Highlights

Bistro BOO promises a range of exquisite dishes, each crafted with care:

• - Carrot Mousse with Sea Urchin: Priced at ¥1,045 (Tax included), this dish features rich and flavorful mousse made from carrots simmered for two hours, topped with fresh sea urchin.
• - Foie Gras Rossini-style Pie with Truffle Sauce: For ¥3,058 (Tax included), patrons can enjoy this delightful pie made with fermented butter, baked to perfection and accompanied by a truffle-infused sauce known as Perigueux.

Meet Chef Yuji Endo

The mastermind behind these culinary creations is Chef Yuji Endo. With extensive training in renowned restaurants including 'Alain Chapel' in France, Chef Endo has honed his craft over two trips to the country. After returning to Japan, he played a pivotal role at 'Ukaitei,' eventually becoming a founding member of 'Ore no Corporation' where he helped establish the first outlet, 'Ore no Italian Shimbashi.' As chef de cuisine at 'Ore no French,' his impactful presence has set the tone for French dining in Japan.
