    I dropped by with my girlfriend after a walk. The place was packed but the seats were well-distanced from each other. The shake was pretty good and sold in a wide assortment of flavors. There were...

    A classic bakery west of Akasaka-mitsuke Station. Their famous rare cheesecake is made with rich cheese with a hint of fresh lemon. This popular cheesecake has not changed since the bakery began in 1976. Their choux-creams full of cream is also well loved. The bakery cafe uses antique furniture, and many people enjoy their cakes in the cafe rather than take-out because of it.

    I heard about this place from a you tube video Paolo in Tokyo. This little shop was close to our hotel. The staff was very helpful and kind. I bought a cheesecake and took it back to the hotel to...

    Tokyo Minato-ku Minami-aoyama 3-14-1
    "A soba noodle restaurant which a distinctive and creative interior incorporating art and interior decorations. A five-minute walk from Omotesando Station, the restaurant is a place where customers can enjoy the culture of ""iki"" (stylish sophistication) enjoyed by the masses in old Edo, right in the bustling heart of the city. The stylish, Japanese design-based establishment has a cool, bar-like atmosphere. Each day, the restaurant grinds its own, top-class soba flour, just enough for that day, using choice, fresh and flavorful buckwheat. The restaurant's vaunted dipping sauce is made exclusively with domestically grown soybeans and without the use of any chemical additives or flavorings whatsoever. Also great is the fact that its open until late at night."

    The restaurant is small and cosy. I loved the walnut dipping sauce with soba noodles. The tempura was also nice. There is an English menu.

    The very first overseas branch of the popular New York Restaurant Union Square Café. Opened in Tokyo Midtown in 2007, the stylish interior gives off a New York vibe. The café’s cuisine exudes smart and stylish New York sensibilities throughout, including the use of an abundant variety of ingredients and highly seasonal salads and pasts. The shop’s smoked steaks, just as popular here as at the Union Square Café, enhance rather than hide the true flavor of the meat.
