The te place is called IDEE service station, it's a restaurant/bar space and occasionnaly a live space.
IDEE is a design group, they also own a few bar/restaurant in tokyo, service station opened reacently following the same concept.
people of service station (IDEE's people) was kind enough to let us organize shoboshobo in that place. we didn't had to pay for it.

IDEE people gave us a delicious soup + they made the mochi tsuki that day so we could taste the traditional japanese new year meal.

from the street, it was possible to see what happened inside thanx to the large walls made of glass.
