    Tokyo Chiyoda-ku Kandajimbouchou 2-3 Kanda Old Book Center 2F
    A European style curry restaurant located on the second floor of the Kanda Kosho Center Building in Jinbo-cho. The restaurant's curry was perfected by the original owner after he became deeply impressed by the depth of the basic sauces used in French cuisine. Its delicious flavor is the result of skillfully combining a secret blend of spices together with an abundance of dairy and several varieties of fruits and vegetables. All of the restaurant's curries come with rice and piping hot potatoes. The most popular item on the menu is the restaurant's signature beef curry. Particularly popular with women are the vegetable curry, which contains various tasty vegetables; and the cheese curry, topped with a hearty helping of cheese.

    4 years ago, I watched a video regarding the delicious curry in a restaurant named Curry Bondy, and I anticipated a lot about the delicious curry. Due to COVID, my family and I finally ate at the...

    Tokyo Chiyoda-ku Kandajinbocho 1-11
    Located close to exit A7 of Tokyo Metro Jimbocho Station. This cafe has been a local favorite ever since it first opened in 1955. The totem pole, retro red telephone, and other objects placed outside near the door give off an eccentric atmosphere. Conversely, inside, the cafe resembles a mountain cabin, and the brick walls are covered with graffiti left by patrons, engendering a retro atmosphere. The establishment's dim lighting helps customers to relax and forget the hustle and bustle of the city. One of the most popular items on the menu is the fresh strawberry juice, poured to the glass brim. Made with ripe strawberries and finely crushed ice, it can be enjoyed like a dessert.

    A great little getaway! I didnt try the food, but coffee was average for Japan. Had a great range of things on the menu and I regretted not going for a meal. Four different flavours of creaming soda...

    This ramen shop opened in Kanda Izumi-cho in 2011. The basic menu consists of items such as salt buckwheat noodles with a clear amber soup made using various salts blended by the owner and miso buckwheat noodles from blended miso. It is easy to see their commitment to cooking without flavor enhancers and to directly purchasing Tsuyahime rice from Yamagata Pref. They also have seasonal dishes using seasonal ingredients, and they prepare special daily items like tsukesoba (soba served with separate hot soup) depending on ingredient availability. However, please remember that there are a limited number of these special dishes.

    ランチタイムには列が出来ない日など無いというくらいに人気のラーメン店です。但し、店の前の清州橋通りは車の往来が多く、歩道も狭いため、近くにある『青島食堂』ほど列は長くありません。 基本的に昼食時の営業で、夜間に営業する日もありますが、不定期であることが多いです。夜間の営業日は電話等で確認するか、店の前に営業日の掲示があるためそれを確認するといいでしょう。 10席程度のカウンター席のみで、店内もあま...

    A restaurant specializing in goosefish cuisine located a five-minute walk from JR Akihabara Station and Kanda Station. This history-leaden restaurant was established at the end of the Edo period in 1830. Originally opened as a loach restaurant close to what is now Kyobashi 3 Chome, since the modern Taisho period this establishment has been beloved as the only dedicated goosefish restaurant in Tokyo. The old-fashioned and imposing restaurant building itself has been designated a Historic Building by the Tokyo government. In addition to the main dining area, the restaurant has relaxing private dining rooms where you can savor anko nabe, a flavorful hotpot steeped in tradition made with only the freshest goosefish from the Kazamaura Sea.

    It was the first time for me to try monkfish. We enjoyed it with various cooking styles and they were all good. We also liked their old, traditional building.

    This specialty shop serves Brittany inspired crepes and galettes. Their Provencal galette with cheese, tomato, egg, and anchovies is especially popular.

    "A long-standing Japanese izakaya pub and restaurant established in 1905 which is located a short distance south of Ogawamachi Station. Identifiable by its old-fashioned exterior and red paper lantern inscribed with characters reading ""dozeu"" (an old way of spelling ""dojo,"" the Japanese word for loach), after dark, this popular restaurant often sees lines of waiting customers forming outside its door. The restaurant has space for 120 to 130 customers, and offers table seating as well as raised tatami mat seating, and one of its draws is its suitability for holding banquets and parties.

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
