01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

At Modern Times, a live music venue that also serves food, the omelette rice stands out. Diners have described it as soft and creamy, and some people who came for the live music have said it was a highlight of their meal. It is a good choice when you want to enjoy a meal alongside a performance.

For something more substantial, diners’ comments on the fried chicken are worth noting. One visitor reported that the pieces were large and plentiful, with a pronounced ginger flavour. Another described it as a dish that goes well with beer, making it a tempting pairing before or after a performance.

This basement live music venue is in Kiyamachi Sanjo, and some visitors have found the stage close to the audience. With live performances and food on offer, it suits an evening centred on either a meal or music with a dish on the side.
