The gastropub culture born in the UK is something foreign to Japan.
Located in Roppongi, “THE PUBLIC SIX” is a restaurant that blends the cultures of British pubs and Japanese cuisine together.
The menu centers around classic pub dishes with a Japanese twist!
Pork chops inspired by Japanese home cooking
THE PUBLIC SIX was created with the concept of “what if there was a Japanese-style gastropub in Japan?”
The “Ibaraki Bimeiton pork Ginger pork chops” are a dish that definitely reflects that concept.
“茨城 美明豚ジンジャーポークチョップ,” Ibaraki Bimeiton pork Ginger pork chops 2,530 JPY (tax included)
Bimeiton Pork is a type of pork from Ibaraki prefecture that is known for being light and not overly greasy.
The meat is tenderized through slow vacuum cooking, with a crispy grilled exterior and juicy flavor.
What really brings out the flavor of the Bimeiton Pork is the ginger sauce used in the dish.
This pork chop is inspired by a classic Japanese dish often made at home, shōgayaki (a ginger pork dish).
Typical shogayaki has a sweet soy sauce-based seasoning with sugar, mirin, alcohol, and ginger.
For the Ibaraki Bimeiton pork Ginger pork chop, lemon adds an accent of tartness to the sauce.
The ginger sauce is a versatile condiment that complements both the pork chop and its side of mashed potatoes. For the best experience, pour it on both!
A steak with a rich, sweet onion sauce as the key ingredient
The “Grilled US Ribeye Roll Steaks with Awajishima onion sauce,” which boasts a delightful aroma reminiscent of charcoal grilling, is a dish the restaurant proudly claims to be enticing enough to be a reason to visit on its own.
The rare-cooked beef allows you to fully taste the richness of the fat.
The steak features “Chaliapin sauce” (onion-based and seasoned with soy sauce and other ingredients) made with onions from Awaji Island, a renowned specialty of Hyogo Prefecture.
To highlight the characteristic sweetness of the Awaji Island onions, the seasonings are kept simple, using soy sauce, sake, and mirin.
It’s a pleasant surprise that despite using carefully selected ingredients and offering generous portions, the price is a reasonable 2,800 JPY (tax included)!

The baked macaroni and cheese at THE PUBLIC SIX is so delicious it’s sure to even impress Americans
The “Baked macaroni and cheese,” an enhanced version of the American comfort food mac and cheese with a richer flavor, is a perfect dish to pair with drinks.
“ベイクド マック & チーズ,” Baked macaroni and cheese 860 JPY (tax included)
The sauce combines three cheeses – red cheddar, natural cheese, and Grana Padano – with plenty of fresh cream, onions, and bacon.
The mac and cheese features two types of essential macaroni: the standard hollow type and the twisted type. This combination ensures the sauce clings well while also providing a delightful variation in texture.
To create a rich flavor that pairs well with drinks, the macaroni and cheese is finished in the oven to thoroughly remove any excess moisture.
The balance of the savory cheese with its subtle tang and the sweetness of the fresh cream creates an addictive taste that keeps you coming back for more!
A comprehensive alcoholic drink menu featuring a wide selection of Japanese craft beers
As a pub, THE PUBLIC SIX also offers a great selection of alcoholic beverages.
The diverse lineup includes a broad selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. The alcoholic drink menu is predominantly focused on Japanese-made beverages.
A particularly recommended option is the “THE PUBLIC ALE,” an original craft beer of THE PUBLIC SIX.
It boasts a refreshing citrus aroma and a subtle bitterness. What really sets this beer apart is its distinct malt flavor.
“THE PUBLIC ALE,” 1,100 JPY (tax included)
In addition, there are standout alcoholic drinks selected from ingredients and themes that prioritize seasonality, such as beer made with rice or featuring cherry blossoms and seasonal fruits.
There are Japanese ingredient-based cocktails too, and you can request off-menu drinks from the staff.
Pubs like the ones in England are places where people enjoy meeting and mingling, so they also serves as social hubs. THE PUBLIC SIX is the same.
During sporting events, the atmosphere transforms into a lively sports bar, with the action broadcasted on large screens throughout the venue.
The experience at THE PUBLIC SIX, where people, cultures, and encounters converge, offers visitors fresh and memorable moments of excitement.
