Guide to KabukiShops and restaurants
A trip to the kabuki theatre doesn't only have to be about the plays. During a kabuki program, there are intervals between each act, and there are many places inside the theatre in which to spend and enjoy this time.

Hanakago/Kabukiza 2nd floor
Most of the theatres offer traditional Japanese cuisine, including elaborate boxed meals! Traditional sweets are usually on sale, too, while sushi or sandwiches are also available to buy at some counters. There's always a large choice of refreshments, including Japanese saké. You can enjoy this during the intermissions (usually 20 - 30 minutes) even from the comfort of your own seat.
