Tokyo restaurant adds special seat for live-streaming and social media posting [Video]

Yakiniku Like, a Tokyo restaurant, has introduced a unique amenity for its customers. Instead of the traditional communal grills found in most yakiniku establishments, Yakiniku Like offers individual-size grills for each customer. This setup caters to solo diners who appreciate the art of grilling their own meat. However, for those who are solo diners but also social media enthusiasts, the restaurant has created a special designated area called Studio Like in its Shinjuku Minamiguchi branch.

Studio Like is a corner equipped with photography gear and filming tools, allowing customers to capture their experience for social media sharing. The booth includes a lighted vanity mirror for grooming, camera mounts for overhead filming, a backdrop, and surrounding walls. Live-streaming from the booth is also permitted. Actress Maari Iwata, a social media influencer, tried out the Studio Like booth.

The booth accommodates two people, making it ideal for friends or collaborators. Studio Like sessions last for 60 minutes, with availability from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Shinjuku Minamiguchi branch. Reservations can be made through the restaurant's official Line account.
