Tokyo beef restaurant, ultimate place for eating out alone


TOKYO, Japan – Toshihiro Fujita, manager of Yakiniku Hitori restaurant, stands near a customer at a compartmentalized seat at his beef barbecue restaurant in Tokyo’s Ueno district on April 28, 2011. The restaurant adopts seats with partitions as it targets people who like grilled beef but don’t like to enter a yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant by themselves. Hitori means alone in Japanese.
