"This tempura was unlike any I've ever had before. The batter was thin, and the ingredients were cooked to perfection. Everything was delicious, but the abalone tempura topped with uni was simply divine. The tencha served with the meal was also exquisite, with an abundance of saimaki shrimp. The tea was a special blend from Tsujiri in Kyoto, the sam"

"I joined the line around 11:10 am on Saturday and waited about 20 minutes before entering. The restaurant seemed to be open after 11 am, and the turnover rate seemed pretty good. I ordered the silver cod simmered in soy sauce (¥1,430), which came with small dishes of sashimi and other items. They also offer large portions of rice. The quality of th"

"Stepping through the charming entrance, you'll find a cozy atmosphere with counter seats by the window and several tables. The lunch set is a great value, offering a selection of small dishes, tempura, rice cooked in a pot, and a choice of steamed rice or buckwheat noodles. This experience left me wanting to return for dinner and enjoy the 'soba ma"

"Exceptional Creative Kushiage! A Luxurious Course Featuring 10 Skewers with 10 Different Sauces I visited "Kushiage Ichiikawa" in Kinshicho. This restaurant is known for its creative kushiage enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere, and I experienced their 10-skewer course with 10 different sauces.

"This is one of my favorite restaurants and I visit regularly. Everything I've tried is delicious, and the atmosphere is surprisingly stylish and relaxed for a place in Kinshicho. I'll definitely be back!"

"Located a 5-minute walk from the north exit of Kinshicho Station, this popular restaurant is often fully booked. It's highly recommended to make a reservation in advance. However, on this particular day (Sunday around 7:30 PM), I noticed an empty table while passing by the restaurant and was able to get a seat! It might have been due to the typhoon"

"I recently visited this restaurant, known for its udon noodles and drinks, after a concert at the Triphony Hall. It was past 9:30 PM when I arrived. The restaurant is located in the basement. I started with a draft beer. They served a complimentary appetizer of yuba (tofu skin), dried daikon radish, and konjac. It was quite delicious. As expected f"

"Standing Bar "粋" (Iki) 🥢 Pickled Radish (Ita-wasa) - ¥200 🐟 Fish Sausage Tempura - ¥200 I was looking for a standing bar to continue my night in Kinshicho, and I found this place! It's not actually a standing bar, but a place with proper seating. But with a highball for ¥330 and dishes starting at ¥100, it's practically a miracle! Wait, did "

"It was great to be back after a few years. I had been on the first floor before, but this time, since we were a large group with children, we were seated in a tatami room on the second floor. It was relatively spacious, and we were able to relax as a family. Ordering through the touch panel was very convenient. This time, we didn't have much sake, "

"An authentic Italian restaurant deeply rooted in the local community of Kinshicho. The chef and staff are overflowing with love for Italy, creating a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere. The wine selection is also carefully curated."

"I recently visited "Menyu", a restaurant specializing in red sea bream ramen. I'd been wanting to try this place for a while! Outside the restaurant, there were plaques from the past Tabelog Top 100 Restaurants and posters for the Tokyo Ramen of the Year awards! This definitely got my hopes up. Since it was my first time, I ordered the classic "M"

"I recently had the pleasure of trying the 'Special Duck Chuka-soba (Salt)' at 'Mankeiken,' a renowned ramen shop in Kinshicho, Tokyo. This dish is a testament to their unwavering dedication to duck, showcasing its exquisite flavors in every aspect. The ramen's defining characteristic is its 100% domestic duck broth. A generous amount of duck is "

"While I was in Tokyo on a business trip, I made a reservation online hoping for a chance to visit. Thankfully, the reservation was confirmed, so I canceled my previous plans and went to the restaurant. I had been there once before, and I felt that the atmosphere and service were better than I remembered. However, perhaps I was just more relaxed thi"

"【Location】 It's about a 5-minute walk from Kinshicho Station. They open at 7 am and close at 3:30 pm, so I went there around 8 am on a Saturday in August. 【Inside】 It was already almost full. The restaurant only has counter seats, about 10 seats I think. You buy your tickets from a vending machine first. I didn't do much research beforehand, so I "

"A tonkatsu restaurant with a 'no photography' policy. I ordered the special loin cutlet set (¥2150), and while it was rich with oil, it had a clean aftertaste. It was by far the best tonkatsu I've had in Tokyo. After the meal, they served almond tofu and tea, making it a truly delightful experience. The service was also excellent. Despite being a"

"You purchase tickets with cash only. I ordered the oyster ramen, oyster rice, and fresh oysters, and they were all delicious. It's right near Kinshicho Station. There are about 9 counter seats. When I arrived, I was able to get a seat right away, but there was a line when I left. However, the service was fast and the turnover was quick, so I think "

"I visited for lunch on a weekday. This Chinese restaurant offers authentic Hunan cuisine, which is still relatively rare in Japan, at reasonable prices, making it a great place to enjoy a casual meal. This time, I ordered the famous "Mifen" with stir-fried pork belly and chili peppers, and the staff's recommendation, "Mao Zedong's Favorite Braise"

"A truly exceptional establishment where both the cuisine and service are on a whole other level! When I found myself in Kinshicho looking for a place to drink, I stumbled upon "Inonaka" after much research. It's a popular spot that requires reservations, known for its exquisite balance of sake and cuisine. This time, I opted for the "Tono-sama"

"On September 28, 2024, I visited Ichizu for the first time, as it came up on a Google search when I was in Kinshicho. I ordered the ramen (all regular). The back fat was plentiful, but the soup was surprisingly clean and refreshing. There was a touch of chili pepper in the broth, which added an unexpected kick. It was so delicious that I would defi"

"I've been here a few times. If you go on a weekday, excluding Friday, and arrive early, you should be able to get in without a reservation. I always order the aburi (seared) beef tataki and TKG (raw egg on rice). They are both delicious. The skewers are also excellent, not just the meat ones, but also the tomato and enoki mushroom wraps. I dedu"
