A boiled dumpling restaurant, is it a popular restaurant?

In a great location, 0 minutes from Roppongi Crossing, this restaurant is always crowded with people. Due to its location, over 90% of the customers are foreigners, but I think the TripAdvisor effect is great.

Is it okay to share a table for four? I answered yes, and after waiting 25 minutes, I was shown to the second floor, which was less than half full and completely empty. But there was a table seating area for four people, which is about the size of a two-person restaurant, and two people had to sit side by side, so you had to tilt your shoulders to sit there. Why is this even though it's empty?

They didn't let in any more customers, and the seating never had to be shared until I left.

The reason they made people line up was just to make it look like a popular restaurant with a constant line to passersby.

The kitchen on the first floor, which is pretty laid-back, seems to be functioning with plenty of room, so the food comes out quickly. It's not an operational restriction.

The service from the staff was very friendly, their English was perfect, and their consideration was wonderful. Their friendly explanations with gestures reminded me of the theme park in Urayasu.

They gave me a discount if I poured myself a beer from the server, and a bigger discount if I poured a second glass, and a discount if I bundled up the plates and glasses I used on the way out.

The details were interesting.

They explained that they were a special, divine foam super master restaurant, selected by Suntory, but even if you pour yourself or use the same glass for a discount, if it's divine foam, I wonder if the special server is the divine foam machine, not the master's technique.

Is it really okay for Suntory to call themselves divine foam super masters?

The food we had was a salad of pickled mustard greens and green onions for the appetizer, juicy boiled dumplings for the main course, and drool-worthy chicken.

It was made in a central kitchen, and it had a school lunch feel, but the seasoning was quite tasty.

However, when I looked at the receipt again, the prices were a bit high and I didn't feel satisfied.

When I left the restaurant, about 60-70% of the second floor seats were filled, but about eight foreigners were lined up in front of the restaurant.
