About 100BANCH

100BANCH was built in a renovated warehouse along Shibuya River. A collaborative group of Cafe Company, Panasonic, Loftwork, and Tokyu Corporation brought this building back to live as a multi-purpose facility. The second floor GARAGE shared office / coworking space and the third floor LOFT event space opened earlier this year in July, and now LAND Seafood will occupy the first floor KITCHEN area. On the 100th anniversary of the founding of Panasonic, 100BANCH looks to create a new future for the next 100 years.

LAND Seafood, a new Mediterranean seafood restaurant

In 2001, Cafe Company opened its first cafe, SUS - Shibuya Underpass Society, underneath the Tokyu Toyoko Line train tracks leading from Shibuya to Daikanyama. As these train tracks were schedule to be demolished, this shop was only a temporary one and closed in 2005. Now, in almost the same spot on the south side of Shibuya Station, we will be opening LAND Seafood, our newest Mediterranean seafood restaurant. It will connect the past of Shibuya with the future and the next 100 years.

Shibuya River

It is little known that there is a river that runs directly underneath Shibuya Station called Shibuya River. Though over the years it has been mostly covered up by the city, during the Edo period in Japan, this river served as a major transportation route to bring in fresh seafood from Tokyo Bay into the city center. Now, as the southern part of Shibuya Station is being renovated to once again open up this river, LAND Seafood will celebrate Tokyo's past by again serving as a gateway to some of the best seafood in Japan.
