"Every dish at 2406 was delicious with a unique twist! The salad dressing was fruity and surprisingly flavorful. The asparagus risotto had a satisfying texture, a citrusy aroma and tang, and a delightful marriage of chicken broth. The pork main course was rich but not heavy, with the fat melting in your mouth and pairing perfectly with the carrot ke"

"A beer costs 2,500 yen. I didn't check the reviews beforehand and was surprised when I got the bill. The beer itself is delicious, though."

"I had lunch here. I didn't know about the burrito bowl, so I decided to try it. I got the jerk chicken and taco meat bowl for ¥850. If you order a drink with your meal, you get ¥100 off the menu price. I chose the iced mate tea. It was a very filling meal, but it wasn't heavy because it had lots of vegetables like tomatoes and lettuce. I ate it all"

"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 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"

"BAR NICO in Koto-ku, Tokyo is a craft gin bar. They have a wide variety of gins to enjoy. On the first floor, there's a curry shop from the same group. Thanks for the delicious meal! 😋"

"For a stylish Italian lunch in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, we decided to try "Due Cuori," a place I'd been wanting to visit for a while. They offer three lunch sets: ¥1,500, ¥2,950, and ¥4,200. While the prices are a bit on the higher side for lunch, even the cheapest set includes pasta, salad, and focaccia. I went for the ¥1,500 set, which offered "

"This restaurant serves lunch from Wednesday to Friday and Saturday. One of their specialties is their freshly fried "aji-fry" (horse mackerel). Another highlight is their fresh seafood. The interior is moderately sized and extends towards the back. It has a nostalgic "Showa-era izakaya" (Japanese pub) feel. I ordered: - "Tenkanburi Sashi" (chille"

"I finally visited BEER VISTA BREWERY, a brewery that opened in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa at the end of 2022 and has been incredibly popular. The atmosphere is incredibly stylish and spacious. The back of the brewery is where the brewing takes place, and there are about eight tables in the front. It seems like you can also stand and drink at the counter. T"

"A stylish wine bar in Kiyosumi Shirakawa. It seems they require ordering at least one bottle of wine for groups of three or more. The owner was quite free-spirited but kind, and he even gave us a complimentary dessert wine. It was delicious. ~Order Details~ ■ Fruit tomato and burrata cheese with olive oil ¥2,380 ■ Iwate Prefecture Mushroom Salad "

"This is a restaurant that made me regret not knowing about it sooner. It was my first visit, so I started with the course menu and then ordered some additional items. However, it wasn't that the course wasn't filling enough, but rather that the combination of the wine and the course menu was so good that both the food and the drinks went down smo"

"I visited on Wednesday night, a little before 10 pm, and was able to get in without waiting. The entrance is quite hard to find, so be careful! It felt like entering through a gate. The interior has a counter with 6 seats and about 4 tables that seat 4 people each. The lighting is dim, creating a really nice atmosphere! They have about 8 craft "

"The sheer variety of beers is incredible! I'm not much of a drinker, but they have fruity beers with low alcohol content, as well as non-alcoholic beers, and they're all delicious! Of course, they also had some stronger options, with some reaching around 12% ABV. The homemade sausages were juicy and flavorful. The muffins were also homemade, with"

"A darts bar in the Morishita area that's open until morning. I found it while looking for a place to eat late at night! ▽---------------------▽ ○Name: CONNECT ○Tabelog Rating: 3.12 (as of October 1, 2023) ○6-minute walk from Morishita Station ○Budget: ¥4,000 per person ○Location: 2F, Obata Building, 1-5-7 Morishita, Koto-ku, Tokyo ○Business Hour"

"My wine-loving friend invited me to this place, her top pick. It's a stylish shop with a great selection of natural wines. I was surprised to find such a trendy spot so far from Kiyosumi Shirakawa Station. The first floor is standing-only, while the second floor has seating. We paid on the first floor and decided to head upstairs. The atmosphere is"

"A new bistro opened just a 4-5 minute walk from Exit A3 of Kiyosumi Shirakawa Station. The owner sommelier is someone who used to be a sommelier at a Japanese restaurant I frequented, and the other chefs are also a talented team of young people in their 20s, so I had been curious about this place since before it opened. I made a reservation for a"

"I was looking for a place to have a few more drinks after work on a Friday night, and this place caught my eye. Kiyosumi Shirakawa doesn't have many bars that stay open late, so it's a lifesaver to have a place open until midnight. This is a wine bar, and as mentioned on the sign at the entrance, the food is just snacks. I recommend having dinner "
