#celebrateit I visited Madame Shrimp in Ginza to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and what a fantastic experience it was! The restaurant’s name really says it all—it’s a shrimp lover’s dream. We indulged in a shrimp-themed course meal that was absolutely delicious. From crispy shrimp appetizers to perfectly cooked shrimp in various styles, every dish was packed with flavor. The freshness of the shrimp really stood out, and each course felt like a celebration of seafood! The staff at Madame Shrimp were incredibly friendly and attentive. They made sure we had everything we needed, and to our delight, they even brought out a beautiful birthday plate at the end of the meal. It was such a thoughtful touch that made the celebration even more special. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual yet memorable celebration. Whether you’re a fan of shrimp or just looking for a unique dining experience in Ginza, this place is definitely worth a visit. Why I recommend this place: It’s perfect for shrimp lovers with a full shrimp-themed course. The staff goes above and beyond, even helping with special occasions like birthdays. 📍Address: 〒104-0061 Tokyo, Chuo City, Ginza, 8 Chome−4−27 #Ginza #Tokyo #MadameShrimp #ShrimpLovers #BirthdayCelebration #TokyoDining

I happened to wake up early, so I decided to go to this cafe to get some morning action ☕️ They have three stores in the nearby areas of Higashi-Nihonbashi, Hamacho, and Kuramae. They open from 7am, and there was a wide variety of snacks like sandwiches on display!

●Name Menya Hisashi ●Access 3-3-9 Nihonbashi Kayabacho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 🚗Use nearby parking ●Points Actually, this was my first time trying ramen that is said to be Jiro-style😅 The noodles are from Kaikaro in Asakusa The flavor is concentrated with dark soy sauce The photo shows the bean sprouts and normal garlic I only ordered the extra-large portion, but I'm not sure I could eat it all... There are about 10 seats at the counter, The noodles are thick so they take a while to boil, but I think the turnover rate is fast In conclusion, it was delicious😊 The char siu was especially delicious I'd like to come back when I want to eat something hearty or get energized #Tokyo #Gourmet #Ramen

I visited Brothers, a hamburger shop near Ningyocho Station. I love hamburgers and have tried many different places, but this is the best so far. The patty is full of meat juice, and the texture and flavor are excellent. In addition, balance is key in a hamburger, and this one is wonderfully well-made with every part being just as good as the meat. #cafehopping #triplucky2022 #gourmettrip

#hellohalloween Tucked away in the wholesale district of Bakurocho, Parlors is a stylish New Zealand-inspired café that stands out with its cool, laid-back vibe. You’d never expect such a trendy spot in this part of town—but once you step in, it feels like a whole different world. For lunch, we shared a Chili Con Carne Cheese Dog and a Tuna Corn Toast—both delicious and satisfying! Each plate comes with a little serving of popcorn on the side, which was a fun surprise 🍿 We also ordered Chai and Earl Grey tea to sip slowly while people-watching. The donuts on display, topped with cream and chocolate, looked incredibly tempting—definitely saving room for one next time! 📍PARLORS Tokyo, Bakurocho #tokyocafe #bakurochocafe #weekendbrunch #hiddenfinds #parlorstokyo #donutlover #coffeebreak

Today I want to introduce Yakiniku Inoue. Their specialty is the wagyu donburi for lunch for only 2,200 yen! No matter the taste, the three points together are far more than 2,000, not to mention the rice tastes good, so it's really worth it! But as foodies, of course we have to eat the set meal, and the most important thing is to eat his sandwich. This photo-taking stalk must come here. The hamburger box packaging is very creative, which reminds me of another Michelin famous restaurant. However, I still advise everyone to eat the donburi. It's a purely visual restaurant. The 20,000 set meal is generally okay, but there are still many choices at this price. Store name: Yakiniku Inoue Ginza Store Address: 1-6-6 Ginza, Chuo-ku

I found pho with an outstanding soup flavor🍜🩵 [333 (Barbarbar) Vietnamese Cuisine] I had been curious for a long time and finally got to visit! The lunch set with fresh spring rolls and dessert is 1250 yen, and you can choose your favorite pho from four types☺️ I chose chicken pho🐔 The chicken was thicker and more plentiful than at other places, and I felt the amount of noodles was also larger😳 My friend chose seafood, and I had a bite— the seafood was delicious too!! Maybe a little spicy? Anyway, the soup was so tasty I almost drank it all up, haha I definitely want to come here again!! 🇻🇳💛 📍 2-1 Nihonbashi Odenmacho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Odenmacho Ichibanchi Building B1F 3 minutes on foot from Kodenmacho Station #Barbarbar #ShinNihonbashiLunch

I found a place that liver lovers can't resist 🥺 After grilling the liver to your preferred doneness, they bring it topped with green onions and sesame oil—a style I've never seen before!!! The manager's recommendation is Olive Beef 🐄🫒 I chose the loin from the recommendation board! The fat was sweet and melted in my mouth 🥺🩵 The beef tongue platter came with various parts of the tongue served in the order of the tongue's layout, haha. The white senmai and harami were also delicious 🤤 It's also a nice touch that the appetizer was beef tendon 🙆‍♀️ I had 2 to 3 drinks, and it was about 7,000 yen per person! 📍 2nd Floor, 9-7 Nihonbashi Odenmacho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 2 minutes on foot from Kodenmacho Station, 5 minutes on foot from Bakuroyokoyama Station #SumiyakiHorumonEita Gourmet gourmet gourmet gourmet gourmet gourmet #OliveBeefStagram

Nice to meet you, Takeoka-style ramen😏 The signature black soup is said to be one of Chiba's three great ramen. Originally, it was a ramen for fishermen to replenish salt, so the soup had a strong salty punch🍜 The onions add a nice accent!

I finally got to visit a nearby restaurant I had wanted to go to for a long time! Since it was my first time, I didn’t understand the system, but I was told that choosing from the several available courses is more cost-effective than ordering à la carte🉐 The courses start at around 3500 yen and increase in increments of a few hundred yen. From the 4000 yen course, the ingredients become more luxurious, and the portions are quite generous! However, since the volume was said to be quite a lot for women, I chose the 3800 yen course🩵 Even so, many appetizers were served, and the drinks were incredibly cheap, which kept surprising me🤣 Isn’t 900 yen for two servings of sake amazing!? Next time, I want to try the course in the 4000 yen range🥰 📍16-17 Nihonbashi Kodenmacho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 4-minute walk from Kodenmacho Station #SushiTomi #TokyoSushiShop #KodenmachoDinner #KodenmachoLunch #KodenmachoStation

#Tokyo Food Guide Turret coffee, which has a 4.6-star rating on Google, has been saved in Google Maps for quite some time. I happened to be heading to Tsukiji a few days ago, so I made a special plan to go there in the morning to try it out. The first thing I ordered was oat milk latte, 690 yen. Turret COFFEE uses three times the amount of coffee beans as regular coffee. Not only does the color of the coffee look rich, but the taste is also very mellow. It is one of my top three favorite coffees I have had in Tokyo. I have visited it several times since then. Although I often have to wait, I think it is worth it. If you go to Tsukiji, I recommend you to try it. Please note that you are not allowed to take photos in the store! Address: 2 Chome-12-6 Tsukiji, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0045 Japan

Located next to Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple, "Tsukiji Hongwanji Café Tsumugi" offers a variety of Japanese dishes, desserts, and tea beverages. Among its offerings, the most popular is the special "18-item breakfast" set. In Japanese, "item" refers to "dish," and as the name suggests, this meal includes 18 different dishes such as "yuzu tofu," "salmon roe with tofu skin," and "grilled duck with sansho pepper." These dishes are beautifully arranged on a wooden rectangular tray, creating a visually stunning presentation. The "18-item breakfast" is available in limited quantities each day. While walk-ins are possible, priority is given to guests with reservations. It is highly recommended to book in advance through the official reservation website to avoid disappointment. The "18-item breakfast" had been on my café bucket list for a while. After several attempts to secure a reservation, I finally found an available slot about a month ago for a weekday morning at 8:30 AM. I quickly clicked the reservation button and received an email confirmation. From the moment the reservation was confirmed, I was eagerly anticipating the experience. On the day of my visit, I was seated on a comfortable sofa. After placing my order, the meal was served in less than 10 minutes. The "18-item breakfast" set includes a bowl of white porridge, a bowl of miso soup, 14 side dishes, a serving of fruit, and a dessert, totaling 18 items. The white porridge can be refilled for free, and the set also comes with a cup of green tea, priced at 2,200 yen. The dark green dessert in the upper right corner is matcha jelly. Apart from the dessert and the fruit on the left, the rest are side dishes. The orange item beneath the matcha jelly is seaweed mentaiko, which I found quite spicy. If you’re not a fan of spicy food or are dining with children, you might want to take note of this. Enjoying breakfast while gazing at Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple through the large floor-to-ceiling windows is a truly relaxing experience. If you love Japanese-style breakfasts, I highly recommend making this your first stop of the day. Address: Japan〒104-0045 Tokyo, Chuo City, Tsukiji, 3 Chome−15−1, Inside the Hongwanji Information Center Café Area.

Outstanding stamina! A garlic specialty store you’ll definitely get hooked on □Garlic x Garlic Kitchen 📍Tokyo, Suitengu About a 3-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Suitengu Station. I came to a garlic specialty store where everything from appetizers to desserts is full of garlic. Super Peperoncino Carbonara with garlic egg yolk sauce Garlic toast Apple juice They use sweet garlic from Takko Town, Aomori Prefecture, which was indeed sweeter and fluffier than regular garlic. The specialty garlic toast is loaded with garlic, making it irresistibly delicious. The super peperoncino contains about five times more garlic than usual, giving you outstanding stamina. Compared to other dishes, the carbonara had a more moderate amount of garlic. Since garlic dishes are expected to have deodorizing effects, I also ordered apple juice, which was rich and delicious. Eat garlic dishes and get energized from the inside out! #0yenTrip #Suitengu #Lunch 📍Location: 1-12-11 Nihonbashi Ningyocho, Chuo City, Tokyo 103-0013

I went to the "Yoshitake Shinsuke Exhibition Maybe" held in Kyobashi, Tokyo 🌳 Since it is an exhibition by a famous picture book author, there were many families with children!

#aprilblooms While enjoying a spring walk through Nihonbashi, I came across a super stylish flower shop called fete, tucked away in the basement of the Kabutocho Dai-7 Heiwa Building. It’s part of a creative space called BANK, and the whole vibe is so unique—like a hidden botanical gallery. The shop is full of beautifully arranged flowers, each with an artistic touch.
