This is a wooden, three-story structure built in 1928 in Shirokanedai, Minato Ward. It is a rare, special building featuring the disproportionately tall facade of kanban (signboard) architecture and traditional protruding beams (dashigeta-zukuri), on the third floor. Aspects of the pre-war grocery store are duplicated inside.
