Japan Eats

Johnny Wang: (5/5) Older unagi restaurant near Senso-ji known for their salt-grilled hitsumabushi (look up a how-to online as it's not immediately intuitive). Was a huge fan of the ochazuke portion!

Johnny Wang: (5/5) Slightly out of the way cafe with a cool retro vibe to it, serving up a variety of interesting and delicious fluffy doughnuts. Try their coffee and chocolate flavored one!

Johnny Wang: (5/5) Casual, modern restaurant serving up a variety of unagi dishes. Be sure to try the usual kabayaki style, but their tamagoyaki and fried bones are worth a go too.

Johnny Wang: (5/5) Super popular (and hence, busy) restaurant inside Tokyo Station serving up some delicious tsukemen. Get in line, buy a ticket, sit, eat, and move along!

Johnny Wang: (4/5) Small stall inside Ginza Station serving up a number of tasty, crispy, and soft waffles.

Johnny Wang: (4/5) Cozy restaurant known for their tempura dishes, which you can order a la carte or omakase style, depending on your mood. The latter is quite a bit of food, so eater beware!

Johnny Wang: (4/5) Large, upscale restaurant serving up a variety of katsu dishes of varying meats, cuts, and portion sizes, but flavorful, crispy, and tender all the same.

Johnny Wang: (4/5) Small restaurant with an awesomely affordable (~$20) and tasty ochazuke wagyu lunch set. Limited to 30 sets for a place that seats 15, so arrive 30-60min before opening to get first seating.

Johnny Wang: (4/5) A little stall near Senso-ji that serves up fried manju (buns) with an assortment of fillings like red bean. Get whatever, but eat it while it's hot!

Johnny Wang: (3/5) Order your udon up front, slide down and pick your sides, pay, and grab a seat. Nothing spectacular, but solid enough for a quick bite.

Johnny Wang: (2.5/5) An old-school no-frills restaurant serving up a selection of rice bowls, including beef bowls, chicken bowls, and pork cutlet. Good flavor but far, far, too salty.

Johnny Wang: (3.5/5) Decent dessert shop with long lines, serving a wide array of tarts, fruit and otherwise. Tasty enough fillings, with a pretty average crust.

Johnny Wang: (3/5) Upscale looking dessert shop offering up a variety of Japanese classics, from ice cream to dango to even more classic sweets. Enjoyable enough, but you can probably find cheaper elsewhere.

Johnny Wang: (3/5) Small street shop offering up decent taiyaki with a variety of fillings. Nothing to go out of your way for, but if you're nearby and craving something sweet, it's not awful.
