So good, my favorite soba in Tokyo. I recommend getting the larger cut 'futokiri' soba with sesame dipping sauce, divine.
World-famous for tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet), this local favorite—housed in a former pre-World War II bathhouse—is hidden away in a back alley behind a busy Omotesando street.
The Tempura Zen set is the best lunch pick: 2 shrimp, 1 bell pepper, 2 unagi, 1 fish and kakiage.
Arrive for an early lunch (before 11AM) and get the beef bowl with a raw egg. Be sure to add red pepper to spice it up.
Small food but very delicious. Try marinated vegetable and chicken with avocado cream sauce.
order nice sushi via ipad and get it via minitrain. no human interaction necessary apart from paying. free matcha.
Two counters at this enormous, crowded market stand out above the rest: Sushi-Dai and Daiwa Sushi. This is the freshest sushi you will ever try, and the immense variety will impress you too.
The sashimi salad was unbelievably delicious. Get a table by the window for people watching, or a seat at the sushi counter, for great food and entertainment.
Have your orders ready, this is a no nonsense get down to business kind of a place. Get the regular sake お酒 and just lift your glass when you want more, its only 180 yen a cup!
Tasty and affordable sushi of high quality. It can get crowded during lunch and dinner time, don't forget to get a ticket at the machine before queuing! Check todays fresh offers behind the counter.
Get the set menu, you won't be sorry! If you want to remember after all the sake, take notes so you can know what you had.
Salt unagi is good. The r sweet unagi is also good. Worth the walk from the asakuza
Go with the ロース (fattier, tastier, and a bit bigger). Add a skewer (串) which comes with fried onions if you're starving. Miso soup is killer with fatty pork bits. Even the white rice is top notch.
The udon was so good. Get it with the egg and beef. Delicious! Prepare to order as you wait on line. Thankfully the menu has pictures! Use Google Translate for the rest.
There are only 9 seats in the restaurant. It is a wait but well worth it. Just watch out for the mosquitos around the entrance because it is next to the little river right next to it. Delicious!
Dorayaki, all way! They don't last long, gotta be consumed within a couple of days of purchase tho...
Small aisles, too many people, but a really cool place with a wide variety of cute items.
Shinjuku Gyoen is one of Tokyo's largest parks, completed in 1906. one of Tokyo's most popular SAKURA (Cherry blossom) viewing spots.
Tokyo's oldest Buddhist temple dates from the year 645. Just outside its Thunder Gate entrance is a bustling market where you can find anything.
The awe-inspiring main residence of Japan's emperor. Apply online in advance for a guided tour.
Endless rows of shops. Go to Takeshita Dori for inexpensive youth apparel, Omotesando for the high-end retailers, and Jingumae for Western brands.
A must see place for those who look for history, its stays right-top of the Tokyo metro map and very good option for an occommodation , I definitely recommend local food, snacks and seafoods.
Order several small plates to share then take a walk on the balcony. If it looks familiar it's because this is where The Bride fights the Crazy 88s in "Kill Bill Vol. 1"...silly rabbit.
There are no menus at this tiny space in the Ginza. Instead, the bartender recommends cocktails with telepathic precision: a Moscow Mule, say, chilled with diamond-shaped ice cubes.
Excellent fresh squid sushi. Try the cuttlefish with sea urchin for a taste sensation - very rich!
Check out the New York Bar on the 52nd floor, featured in the movie "Lost in Translation."There are great city views &an excellent live jazz band, just like in the film. Also, try the L.I.T. Cocktail.
Ohitsuzen - choice of meat or fish (choose bbq Eel) on a bowl of rice, with various condiments and miso soup. You mix it all together with brown rice tea. It's delicious and very cheap! 1850Y each.
A little gem hidden in a tiny back alley. Ask for anything good and you won't be disappointed.
The menus don't have any English, even the prices are in Japanese. But don't let that put you off, just order randomly and you can't really go wrong. The wagyu beef sushi is especially good!
Find peace and serenity at this Shinto Shrine in Shibuya. Make sure to visit both major areas (Naien and Gaien). You can also write a prayer on a piece of paper and then tie it to the wall of prayer.
