When I was eating with Daiki in New York about 3 years ago I once asked “are meatball in vogue now?”
Apparently, the number of young people picking up around 4 meatballs while drinking has rapidly increased with the shop also called “The Meatball Shop”. The next day visiting Band of Outsider I was surprised to find was a ballpoint pen from “The Meatball Shop” in their showroom and thought it funny because it feels like drinking in Japan. When I then heard that Scott the designer had previously worked on a meatball film at a previous job (what’s the film’s called? hehe… ) and then said he went on to launch a ‘The Meatball Shop’ collection, I thought “What!?”​ ​
We then imported ballpoint pens with "The Stand and Parking", launched around the same time, since this sort of thing sounded too good to be true.The Stand & Parking​
This is the first visit for a while. You order by writing directly onto laminated menus with a felt tip pen. You choose the type of meat ball and sauce you'd like, choose a side dish, and it comes with just the right amount of focaccia, which is perfect for lunch.
