The Momentum by Porsche　The world’s only Porsche-approved restaurant: The Momentum by Porsche Tokyo

About “The Momentum by Porsche” in Shiodome, Tokyo—the world’s only Porsche-approved restaurant

In Shiodome, Tokyo, there is a special restaurant that every car enthusiast should visit at least once.

That restaurant is The Momentum by Porsche—the world’s first and only Porsche-approved restaurant.

When people hear “Porsche,” many likely think of the 911 or 718, or perhaps the brand’s racing history at Le Mans. However, this restaurant is not merely a “café with Porsche merchandise.” It is a gastronomic restaurant that expresses the brand’s philosophy, design, aesthetic sensibility, and “commitment to authenticity” through its cuisine and interior design.

Expressing the Porsche Worldview Through Food

The restaurant is located on the first floor of Shiodome City Center, adjacent to the Porsche Studio Ginza. Upon stepping inside, the first thing you notice is the stunning aesthetic—one that completely transcends the typical “car dealership-attached restaurant” concept.

With a sophisticated black-and-white interior, countless miniature Porsche cars suspended from the ceiling, and motorsports photos and helmets on display, Porsche’s signature style is evident throughout. In particular, the ceiling lighting features no fewer than 156 Porsche miniatures embedded within it, creating a display that car enthusiasts will find irresistible.

However, the appeal of this restaurant goes beyond just its “appearance.”

The concept is “From the Earth to the Table.” The restaurant places great importance on infusing each dish with a story—from seasonal ingredients sourced across Japan and the passion of the producers to the craftsmanship of the tableware.

Authentic Italian cuisine

The cuisine is a modern style that blends Italian foundations with Japan’s four seasons and culinary culture.

Since 2025, Chef Yuki Sato, a native of Yamagata, has served as head chef, actively incorporating quintessentially Japanese ingredients such as game meat and river fish. With a background of working at Michelin-starred restaurants across Italy, he has adopted the theme of “cuisine that expresses the very essence of the ingredients.”

Lunch menus start at around 5,500 yen, while dinner options range from standard courses to luxury courses designed for special occasions.

While the phrase “a restaurant affiliated with a luxury car brand” might sound intimidating, the restaurant is actually used for a variety of occasions, including anniversary dates, business entertaining, and meals with fellow car enthusiasts.

Enjoyable even if you’re not a car lovers

What’s interesting is that this space isn’t “exclusively for Porsche owners.”

In fact, many reviews note that “even non-Porsche fans can enjoy it.” Since Porsche Studio Ginza, located next to the restaurant, is seamlessly connected to the dining area, one of the attractions is the ability to admire the latest Porsche models or experience the brand’s world after a meal.

In fact, this might be a place to experience the “Porsche lifestyle.”

It’s not just about building fast cars; it’s about establishing a brand that encompasses design, culture, and experience. The Momentum by Porsche expresses that philosophy through the medium of “food.”
