    Kanda Matsuya Soba

    Kanda Matsuya serves some of the most famous homemade soba in Tokyo. Soba is a buckwheat noodle either served in hot soup or dipped into a cool, concentrated broth. Soba chains can be found all over the country but Kanda Matsuya serves in house crafted soba. The noodles are best eaten plain, so the diner can taste and experience the subtle nutty flavor of the noodles and salty dashi broth. Those with a big appetite can order a side of tempura with their soup, or a large portion. The restaurant itself has kept most of its wooden aesthetic from 1884, when it first opened.

    Mighty Steps Coffee

    Mighty Steps Coffee is a cozy cafe serving coffee and house made ice cream. An odd combination, but delightfully refreshing on a hot summer day. The coffee menu focuses on single origin drip and espresso drinks. The cafe recommends a scoop of ice cream in a cone paired with a single origin drip coffee. The ice cream flavors change on rotation, but standard flavors include salted caramel and pistachio. Visitors can relax on the couch and chat with the baristas or take their coffee to go.

    Shouei Tei

    Shoueitei serves western style Japanese food, or yoshoku. The restaurant opened in 1907 by Horiguchi Iwakichi, the former personal chef of Dr. Von Kobel, most famously the mentor of writer Natsume Soseki. When working as the personal chef, Horiguchi created a fried mixture of meat and vegetables, becoming the first person to cook western style kakiage (Yofu Kakiage). Now, Shoueitei has its fourth chef and is still serving the kakiage alongside other yoshoku favorites, like omelette rice and hamburg.
