"When it comes to Western-style restaurants in Nihonbashi, this is the place to go. Established in 1931, this long-standing establishment features a casual restaurant on the first floor and a more formal Western-style dining experience on the second floor. This time, I enjoyed a glass of wine on the first floor, accompanied by the restaurant's sig"

A soba noodle shop with delicious Indian curry that I had been curious about. ・Order Yomoda Curry with Half Tanuki Soba Set ¥800 "Yomoda's Commitment" ① Broth The broth is 100% completely free of chemical seasonings!

"I arrived 10 minutes before opening on a weekday. There were two Korean people waiting. A few more people joined the queue, but it didn't become full immediately after opening. A line formed later. I was curious after reading the reviews, but the taste was indeed salty. Nothing particularly stood out. The price wasn't cheap either. It would be bett"

"The store is bright and beautiful. You buy a ticket and then take a seat, but the vending machine is in the left corner, which can be confusing for first-timers. I had the special, available only on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, in a regular size, with all the toppings as normal. The noodles and the unpretentious soup were a perfect match, and "

"Tamai, a long-established restaurant specializing in Edomae conger eel, has multiple locations in the metropolitan area, with this being the main branch. Located amidst the towering skyscrapers of Nihonbashi, its traditional facade stands out, showcasing the restaurant's long history. During lunchtime, long queues form outside, with a wait of 30-40"

"All the dishes I ordered were delicious. I've been to the main branch of Din Tai Fung in Taiwan many times, and the service and quality of the food are almost the same. It makes me happy from the heart. Din Tai Fung in Shibuya Ebisu was a sad experience. The staff were mostly part-time workers, and the service and quality of the food were terrible"

"A venerable Edomae sushi restaurant. I just happened to drop in, but the food was truly delicious. I had two bottles of sake and ate to my heart's content for 12,000 yen. For the first time in a while, I was so engrossed in the flavors that I forgot to talk. The delicious ingredients kept coming out, one after another, and I couldn't resist order"

Their signature dish is the Curry Nanban, which allows for customizable spice levels at an additional cost. Upon seating, I was served a cup of soba tea, a thoughtful t"

"A Sri Lankan coconut curry with a surprising amount of flavor and a good amount of spice! I visited "Benibana Bekkan" in Nihonbashi for lunch on a weekday. Even though I arrived just after 11 am, there were already many customers and the restaurant was almost full. I felt the popularity of the restaurant and stepped inside with anticipation. Th"

"A stylish izakaya (Japanese pub) located on the first floor of the Kokubun Building near Nihonbashi. From the restaurant and terrace seats, you have a great view of Nihonbashi. I visited at 5:30 PM on a weekday after work. It was raining that day, so the restaurant was about 70% full. The name of the restaurant comes from its location, 1-1-1 Nihonb"

"I visited for lunch on Saturday. I arrived at 12:40 pm and was the last customer to be seated before they sold out. I ordered the hamburger and the Doria. The hamburger had a satisfyingly meaty flavor, and the Doria was generously topped with sauce, allowing me to fully enjoy the creamy, cheesy taste. I had the iced coffee that came with the lunch "

"The udon is simply delicious. It's chewy, smooth, and satisfying. If it were closer to home, I'd go there twice a week. The chicken tempura comes on a separate plate, crispy and juicy, and it's delicious. The turnover rate is fast, so you can eat quickly and without complaint."

"We were able to get in before 7 PM on a weekday without waiting. We ordered using an electronic tablet. The food photos were hard to see! You can choose the spiciness of the dishes. We shared four dishes and a dessert between two people and were full. Everything was delicious! 🇹🇭💯 The most popular beer was fruity and easy to drink. We definitely wa"

"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 visited for lunch around 11:45 am and was able to be seated right away. I ordered the oyster fry and chicken zangi set (¥1,300). The zangi was delicious, but the oyster fry was absolutely amazing. The oysters were rich and plump, making it the best oyster fry I've ever had. Next time I come, I'll definitely order the oyster fry set. By the time I"

"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 visited for dinner in October 2024. The location is easy to find, across from the Mitsukoshi Shin-kan (new building). The restaurant has well-separated seating, allowing for a relaxed dining experience. I ordered the duck seiro (cold soba noodles with duck), tempura seiro, and dashimaki (rolled omelet). The dashimaki arrived quickly, steaming hot"

"JASMINE Theater, Grand Opening!! This restaurant, whose main branch in Hiroo was selected as one of the "100 Best Chinese Restaurants," has always been on my list to try.

"A leisurely Saturday morning stroll through Nihonbashi for some shopping. Lunch at "Focacceria la Brianza" inside Nihonbashi Takashimaya. The set salad comes with a generous portion of prosciutto and a fresh green salad. For drinks, they offer alcohol for an additional ¥300, so I enjoyed a draft beer (Heineken) before noon. We shared a large portio"
