The main event for April will be a visit to the David Bowie exhibition being held at Warehouse Terrada G1 Building in Higashi Shinagawa (http://davidbowieis.jp/en/) followed by a seated dinner at a brand new casual restaurant called NOZ by T.Y.

The exhibition “David Bowie is” was originally created by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and Tokyo is the only city in Asia to host it. One free drink is available on production of the entrance ticket at the venue’s café. NOZ by T.Y. Farm (https://www.facebook.com/terra.cafe.bar1220/) serves fresh vegetables from its own farm in Ome, and the mainly Italian menu for our dinner will consist of salad, two or three appetizers, a main course and a dessert, as well as the usual free flow of wine, beer and soft drinks.
