RT @davidchang: i think the best ramen in world is the tsukemen at Rokurinsha in Tokyo. the only ramen i'd queue up for. Read more.
"The independent kissa (cafe) is perhaps the greatest hidden gem of Tokyo. Completely unmarked and located in a residential area, the Kissa Sakaiki is a jazz bar that hosts local artists and actors."
Delicious, rich tskumen ramen. Got there 12.30pm on Thurs, wait was 40min but feels like it moves quickly.
Onsen in a suburban quiet Tokyo area. It's more original and cheap. You get a towel for some extra bucks. Has a restaurant, a zen garden, sauna, jacuzzi and a relaxing spring in the open.
So good, my favorite soba in Tokyo. I recommend getting the larger cut 'futokiri' soba with sesame dipping sauce, divine.
Just be prepared to tell them one or two flavors/spirits you like and prepare to be amazed. The gin and ginger combo I had was phenomenal. They also serve little snacks while you drink.
Best Bagels in Japan. Open Wednesday through Thursday no sign look for the building with the spiral fire escape staircase out front. Great cream cheese flavors doubles the price of your lunch-do it!
This way-too-cool bike-surfshop cum café tucked in a Harajuku lane serves really good coffee. Sandwiches are hearty meals with fries and salad. Really nice place to just 'zone out' from the crowd.
The ramen they serve is a really rich tori paitan, or creamy chicken broth. You can get a variety of beautiful toppings. Read more.
great selection of both young and established designers from around the world 💪🏻 art work and installations too.
Everyone who has gone to Tokyo has told me that this pizza is stellar. They are not wrong. Living in NYC we get tons of great pizza but man, this is maybe the best I've ever had. Get the Margherita.
