"I was looking for a cafe at Tokyo Station and stumbled upon this one. The bright interior and mostly foreign customers created a wonderful, exotic atmosphere. ✨ Ordering was done through a touch panel, and they accepted credit cards and IC cards. The caffè e llatte was delicious. When I was carrying a lot of luggage, a female staff member brought m"

"A cafe attached to a long-established Japanese confectionery shop founded in the Edo period. While seating is limited, you can enjoy a leisurely coffee break. The anko (sweet bean paste) is especially delicious, as you would expect from a Japanese confectionery shop. The anko is light yet intensely sweet, and highly recommended. The confectionery s"

"This shop is located inside Takashimaya, a department store in Nihonbashi. It's very popular, so you'll likely need a reservation to get in. Honestly, I'm not a tea connoisseur, so I find the prices a bit steep. However, if you're someone who appreciates Japanese tea, it's definitely worth a visit. The atmosphere is calm and serene, and they serve "

"I've been here twice. It's quite difficult to make a reservation, but it's a very enjoyable space. The cost per person can vary greatly depending on whether you buy the same dishes and drinks served in the restaurant, and how much merchandise you buy at the time of reservation or in the store. The menu prices are generally high, but I think they ar"

"I had a TABASCO Sriracha sauce burger at the "Hyakumeiten" (Top 100) burger shop in Takashimaya Nihonbashi! \u270C\uFE0F Tabelog: 3.69 (Selected for Tabelog's Top 100 Hamburger Restaurants 2024) Google: 4.2 (255 reviews) Today, I went to Ginza with my daughters. We decided to have hamburgers for lunch, so we took the subway from Ginza to Nihonbas"

"This was my first time at "Senbikiya." I arrived around 2 pm on a Sunday and there were about 20 people waiting outside on chairs. It ended up taking almost an hour to get in. I recommend deciding what you want to eat beforehand while looking at the menu by the entrance. Most of the staff seemed to be women. They provided very polite service."

"## Features Free Wi-Fi available. No power outlets. Located in a back alley, the shop's door handle is shaped like a shovel, making it fun from the moment you enter. Previously, cheesecake was only available on weekends, but it seems they now offer it on weekdays as well. ## Order Basque Cheesecake - ¥700 Plan Chai - ¥650 ## Texture While crea"

"Located on the second floor of the Takashimaya Nihonbashi Main Building, this cafe restaurant offers a taste of the renowned L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon at a reasonable price. They have courses starting from ¥2,000, with prices varying depending on your choices. Even the ¥2,000 lunch is quite satisfying. The main course offers a choice of meat, fish"

"I finally tried the famous Hayashi Rice at Maruzen Cafe. It's exactly what you'd imagine a Showa-era coffee shop to be like. The interior has a retro vibe. I'd known about it for years but never got around to visiting. The rich gravy is on the sweeter side. I also ordered waffles, but the batter was more like bread and didn't live up to its appeara"

"I recently used Nihonbashi Station for the first time and noticed a GODIVA cafe at the entrance. A sign for a store-limited shaved ice caught my eye. I was drawn in by the word 'limited.' This was apparently GODIVA's first shaved ice menu. The chocolate shaved ice was ¥917 (tax included). When I saw the price, I thought, 'That's cheap!' It was load"

"Located in the Nihonbashi Takashimaya, directly connected to the station, it's easy to find even for someone unfamiliar with the area. The weekday-only lunch course is attractive because you can order drinks before and after the meal. Even on weekdays, it fills up quickly at lunchtime, so it's best to make a reservation."

"I visited this cafe on September 22, 2024, in the afternoon. It's located near Nihonbashi Station on the subway, next to Takashimaya. The cafe has a very retro, French-style exterior. It was crowded for lunch when I went, but I was able to find a seat. At first, they only showed me the lunch set menu, and I thought they didn't have dessert. But whe"

"The drink service was incredibly fast, it was shocking! It felt like the speed of a beef bowl chain's service, even though the menu said it would take some time. On the other hand, the drinks that weren't listed on the menu were served at the speed of regular cold water. I ordered the half-and-half chiffon cake with a drink set. The strawberry"

"A highly recommended cafe when visiting Nihonbashi Takashimaya. It has an outdoor terrace that faces away from the street, allowing for a relaxing tea break. As it's a Fauchon cafe, tea lovers should definitely check it out 🫖. I hadn't had lunch yet, so I ordered a single item with a drink set. I went for the croque monsieur and chai tea. Fauchon"

"I dined at this restaurant. It's incredibly convenient, located right in front of the B3 exit of Nihonbashi Station. You take a retro elevator up to the 8th floor of the Takashimaya Main Building. I ordered fish meunière, beer, and white wine that day. The menu prices are all around ¥2,000 to ¥3,000, which is a bit pricey, but considering the atm"

"I visited for lunch. It was a business meeting, so I had the steak sandwich with a salad and soup set. The Caesar salad, which is apparently a specialty, was plentiful and the borscht had large pieces of meat and was delicious. The steak sandwich used a thick, chewy steak that was also flavorful, but it quickly became soggy because there was no way"

"I recently visited "cafe vava", located inside the Takashimaya department store right in front of the Nihonbashi Station on the Tokyo Metro. I ordered the "Chocolat & Fresh Cream" for ¥1800. These gluten-free pancakes are made with rice flour. The top layer is fluffy and melts in your mouth like pudding, with a subtle sweetness. The menu descri"

"It's located in the Coredo building in Nihonbashi. It's usually crowded, so it's more lively than relaxing. However, the food and drinks are delicious! If you can choose a good seat, it can be a relaxing space."

"This Maison Kayser store is located in the basement of Coredo Nihonbashi, directly connected to Nihonbashi Station. While I'm not sure about the cafe, the bakery is open until 10 pm on weekdays and 9 pm on weekends, so it's great to be able to buy bread on your way home from work. I'm not working in this area, so this is just a fantasy, but I've a"

"Cakes have become quite expensive lately, but this place offers a huge amount for the price. The Mont Blanc for ¥680 was enormous. It seemed like they were trying to bulk it up, as there was only a small amount of sponge cake. Inside, there was a large amount of custard that had no flavor, a lightly sweet whipped cream, and some fairly large chestn"

"This is a wagashi (Japanese confectionery) shop, so they don't serve meals. You can find them in most department store basements, but I particularly like the Nihonbashi Takashimaya branch. The staff's service varies, with some being terrible, but overall it's good. They're known for their 'Amo' sweets, but I remember being completely blown away whe"

"This restaurant is located in the basement of Takashimaya. I've seen PARIYA mentioned frequently on blogs and YouTube, and I was curious about it every time I passed by, so I decided to go in. The lack of separation between the store and the passageway in front of it was a bit off-putting, and it didn't feel very relaxing. Despite this, it was pa"
