"A modern Spanish restaurant🇪🇸 that offers Basque cuisine from Spain, with a Japanese twist. The counter seats overlooking the open kitchen in a renovated 60-year-old traditional Japanese house create a fantastic atmosphere. The food is all incredibly delicious, making it a truly exceptional experience 💯."

"I heard rumors about a delicious sushi restaurant opening in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, so I went there right away! It's great that there are so few sushi restaurants in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa. The restaurant opened in January 2024. Even though it's still brand new, it already has a 3.50 rating on Tabelog, which is incredibly popular. I think there are thre"

"I called around 11:30 AM on Sunday to make a reservation and was told it was fully booked except for the last seat. The atmosphere, both inside and outside, is full of meticulous attention to detail, and the piano music in the background adds to the sense of refinement. ☺️ The restaurant is run by two people, so you need to order everything at onc"

"A cozy table on the second floor, and I was happy to see they allow smoking 🚬. All the food was delicious! The cheese risotto was rich and just my taste. The pasta was also flavorful with rosemary. The atmosphere was great and the price was reasonable, so I'll definitely be back!"

"I stopped by this burger joint for a quick bite before buying a CS at Tokyobike. I was looking for a burger place nearby and found this one. It's about halfway between Morishita Station and Kiyosumi Shirakawa Station. The restaurant only has counter seating, and when I visited around 1:30 PM on a weekday, I was the only customer. The menu offers "

"This boulangerie is located near the Sumida River, right in between Morishita and Kiyosumi-shirakawa stations. The exterior is stylish, with a bakery on the first floor and a restaurant on the second. My favorite bread here is the high-hydration bread. It's soft and full of wheat flavor, absolutely delicious. Drizzling it with olive oil takes the t"

"We visited for the first time as a couple. Since we don't come here often, we decided to splurge and order the "Ichi Dai Toshiyori Mori" (Grandfather's Special) set for 8,000 yen. It was a generous assortment of thick cuts of meat, and everything was incredibly delicious. We also enjoyed a mixed hormone platter, Wagyu beef, Yukke (raw beef), three "

"I visited around 1:30 PM on Saturday and waited for about 30 minutes. The soba noodles were delicious! I think it's worth the wait. The staff were kind. There was a wide variety of menu items. Even after I finished eating, there were still people waiting, so it's definitely a popular place! I understand why 😃"

"The legendary "original curry bread" shop, "Katsura", is a true neighborhood bakery located a short distance south of the Morishita intersection. It's been about 10 years since my last visit, and it's amazing how the exterior hasn't changed at all. The interior is just as impressive, with bread neatly arranged, exuding a sense of cleanliness. I pur"

"• Tuna Bone Ramen ¥990 (tax included). I chose the tuna confit as my topping. This was my first time trying ramen with tuna. It had a gentle flavor and didn't make me feel guilty while eating it. The owner seemed like a kind person."

"This local Chinese restaurant, where the owner apologizes to regulars every time the price changes, left a lasting impression. They apparently raised prices in October, but it's still affordable. I'm a first-timer, so I don't know the previous prices. It's a charming little place. Even though it was around 5 PM, it was bustling with customers, and "

"This is a long-established Western-style restaurant located near the Fukagawa Edo Museum, close to Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Station. It's a popular spot among local salarymen, often filling up by 11:45 am on weekdays. I ordered the Omu-Hayashi Rice. However, while it says 'Rice Large Serving' on the menu, it wasn't free. It's true, it didn't say 'free' "

"I dined here for dinner. I ordered a bottle of beer, simmered dishes, grilled silver salmon, and eggplant, and finished with rice and miso soup. The food is very reasonably priced. It's a precious restaurant where you can experience the atmosphere of Showa era. There were other dishes I wanted to try, so I'll definitely come back again."

"It's always crowded, but I went on a holiday around 11 am and waited in line to buy. The tai meshi (sea bream rice) was delicious, with the rice having a strong flavor! It's amazing for ¥1,000 😀. The recommended three-item platter has less rice, but it makes up for it with plenty of ingredients. The fish was also delicious, with a good amount of fa"

"We passed by Minoya Honten, a restaurant specializing in cherry blossom pot (Sakura Nabe), a year ago. This time, I brought my wife and we visited for lunch. We were the sixth in line and had to wait a bit, but as expected, the soba noodles were delicious. There was no room for complaint. Although they forgot my extra half-portion of soba, I was f"

"While some places offer deep-fried eel sets for over ¥2,000, this restaurant is reasonably priced with their deep-fried eel rice starting at ¥1,190. It's packed with clams and very satisfying. The only downside is that it's quite salty. Eating the pickles on top of that would be too much salt intake. But it was delicious."

"To be honest, I initially underestimated "Fukagawa-meshi." But after actually trying it here, my opinion changed. It's no wonder this is a long-established restaurant that has been passed down through generations. The rice served in a hinoki (cypress) box was packed with large clams, and the clams themselves were incredibly flavorful. The arajiru ("

"This is the shop featured on the "Drank Tsukachi's Standing Soba" show. It was recently rebroadcast, too. My intuition told me it would be delicious, so I went. When I arrived, it was packed, and I had to wait a little bit. I ordered the "Basho Soba" that Tsukachi-san also ate. The broth, which was seasoned with dried scallops, was especially delic"

"I made a reservation and visited on the day before a holiday. The place was fully booked with reservations, and there were frequent inquiries about availability by phone, so I think reservations are essential on weekdays before holidays and weekends. The interior has a warm atmosphere with about 8 counter seats and 5 table seats. It's a small sho"

"A stroll through Kiyosumi Shirakawa led me to this charming restaurant. The ambiance and the aroma of the food were irresistible. With the day still bathed in a soft light, I enjoyed a chilled sparkling white wine alongside a three-meat platter and a silken tofu caprese. The portions were perfect for someone like me who prefers to savor small"

"A restaurant in Fukagawa, Tokyo. 『Fukagawa-juku Honten』 This is a restaurant where you can eat Fukagawa rice. It was packed on a weekend afternoon, with people waiting outside. I ordered the classic dishes and waited while enjoying some sake. It was quite nice to have some grilled clams as a snack. The food that came out was visually appealing"

"I went in the early morning. It's open 24 hours. I had the "all-you-can-eat" ramen and rice. The ramen was a lighter, home-style (ieya-kei) flavor. The noodles were medium-thick and clung nicely to the broth, which was delicious. Rice was all-you-can-eat and came with pickles. There were plenty of toppings, which made it fun to change up the flavor"

"I went to this cafe because it seemed like they had substantial meals. I ordered the daily plate, but the taste was pretty average, and the side dishes weren't very good. (The vegetables were delicious though.) The coffee wasn't good either, so I think you'd be fine expecting a family restaurant level of quality. The staff were friendly, but the"
