Open Café in the First Episode of “99.9 Criminal Lawyer”

The café featured in the drama series “99.9 Criminal Lawyer” (2016) is Hibiya Saroh and is located in Hibiya Park, Chiyoda Ward. The scene in which Haruhiko Madarame (Ittoku Kishibe) scouts Hiroto Miyama (Jun Matsumoto) in the first episode was filmed at the café. Scenes from several other drama series were also filmed at the Hibiya Saroh, which, as a famous location within the metropolitan area, is visited by many fans. The café was founded in 1949. The long-standing café features a pleasant open terrace which, for a café, is possibly Japan’s first. Draft beer from Germany, Belgium, and many other countries from all over the world is on tap. Some are only available here. In addition, the café’s premium fresh cream soft serve ice cream received the highest ranking (three stars) of the iTQi’s Superior Taste Award. Hibiya Saroh has an extensive Western-style menu which includes dishes such as the popular Japanese-style omelet on rice, a classic offered ever since the café was founded. On a fine day, enjoying a beer and a meal on the open terrace of the café and surrounded by the nature of Hibiya Park is an experience that is hard to forget.
