Roppongi gets a major makeover in anticipation of a post-COVID Tokyo.  Due to the pandemic that occurred from the end of 2019, restaurants were in a difficult situation and the environment changed drastically.  In order to protect the food and culture side street style, a new type of side street style was reborn in July 2021 in Roppongi, Tokyo.
