"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"

"The meal consisted of appetizers, two pasta dishes, fish (クエ), meat (米沢牛), and dessert. Each dish was beautifully presented and meticulously prepared, making everything delicious. 🍽🌱 The fish dish with hidden risotto and the porcini pasta with butter and cheese were particularly noteworthy. 🐟💯 I could have eaten them forever. The sommelier's expl"

"Les Caves de Taillevent, a restaurant supervised by the three-Michelin-starred French restaurant Taillevent. The wine selection is extensive, featuring many producers not commonly found in Japan. While specializing in French wines, they also offer a selection of Italian wines. The dishes are carefully chosen to complement the wines. The skilled che"

"【BAR & DINING GIFT】 Located just a 2-minute walk from Nihonbashi Station, this stylish bar, 'BAR & DINING GIFT,' welcomes you with its elegant ambiance as soon as you step off the elevator. The interior features both counter and table seating, providing a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. On this occasion, we were treated to the GIFT Grand Ope"

"I've been wanting to try this curry shop for a long time. I hadn't looked up the location, but it turned out to be super close to my office! I happened to be out and about, so I booked a reservation through Instagram DM in the morning and went. It's great that you can see what's on the menu for the day and book in advance! The set came with two cur"

"This was my first time visiting. I was looking for a restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere where I could enjoy delicious wine and food for a birthday dinner, and I found this place. All the food was incredibly delicious, and I was completely satisfied. The staff was also very attentive, offering suggestions when I was unsure about the wine and antic"

"Around 3:30 PM on Saturday, the first-floor counter (standing bar) was almost full, but I managed to squeeze in. I heard the second floor was empty, though. I ordered food based on the menu on Tabelog and drinks based on the posted menu. The bar area was run by a single female staff member. During busy times, it might take a while for your order "

"I went to Nagato to buy water agar jelly and decided to take a break at a nearby cafe known for its Mont Blanc. It was a weekday afternoon, around 2:30 pm, and I was able to get a seat. However, it took a while for my order to arrive, likely because they were carefully preparing each drink. I ordered a Mont Blanc, iced coffee, and iced cafe au lait"

"I was looking for a place within walking distance of my hotel and found this spot. It's right in front of Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi. Inside, there's a Toyama antenna shop, restaurants, bars, and more, making it a very spacious place. The bar corner offers Toyama sake and snacks for eat-in. This time, I ordered a sake tasting set of three varieties and "

"Once again, the restaurant I was aiming for was closed. It was preparing to open. So, I ended up visiting this place. I ordered the bird skewers, which seemed to be a specialty. While waiting, I did some research and found out it's a local food in Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture. It was indeed tender and flavorful with a nice miso aroma. The vegetab"

"This curry shop is located in the new building of Takashimaya Nihonbashi. It's usually not crowded, so you can usually get a table without waiting. I chose two types of curry: the curry of the day and the chicken butter masala curry. The curry of the day was a curry with eggplant and chicken, with a hint of ginger, and it was delicious. The butte"

"The black beer with its unique frozen foam texture is simply irresistible! The interior boasts a beautiful space design and atmosphere, but it's also welcoming for solo visitors, which is why I keep coming back."

"**Overall** The food was absolutely delicious, exceeding expectations with every dish. You can choose from cold or room temperature hand towels. The cold ones were frozen towels (lol). When you're seated, they explain the tempura and show you the vegetables. The service was great, but the restaurant is quite small, so be careful if you have a sui"

"I'm not a regular, but luckily I was able to snag a seat at the counter. I ordered the "Dried Mackerel" for my main dish, along with "Pickled Vegetables, Cabbage", "Vinegared Dish, Octopus". I had a small bottle of Kirin beer, and warmed sake from Shiga: "Kitajima, Watarifune, 88%, Junmai Kimoto", and warmed sake from Gunma: "Gunmaizumi, Tokubetsu "

"I went for lunch on a weekday. You can choose from pasta, meat, or fish. The price is 1200-1500 yen. I wanted to eat fish, but I gave up because of the price. 😭 I ended up getting the cod roe set. The taste was average. The soup and pickles that came with the set tasted like they were just thrown in. It was a bit disappointing. The atmosphere was n"

"○ • You can enjoy a lot of German dishes. Especially the thick sausage and mashed potatoes were the best. • It reminded me of my trip to Germany last year, and it made me nostalgic. • I was injured in my leg, so I was grateful that the staff told me about the elevator on my way back. △ • Depending on the customer base at the time, there were two g"

"○ The food was absolutely delicious. The mushroom ajillo (with a topping that tasted like pickled vegetables, which was a great pairing) and paella were particularly memorable. I felt inspired to try making them at home. I would definitely come back if I could sit at a table instead of the counter. △ The menu only had text descriptions, which made"

"I'm a regular here for lunch! For the price, the main menu, plus soup and a drink bar, is a great value in Nihonbashi. Today I had the gratin lunch. The food comes out quickly, which is great for a busy lunch hour when you only have an hour. I've never been here for dinner, but it seems like it would be a good place for a group dinner with Italian"

"This Italian restaurant, located in the back alleys of Nihonbashi Takashimaya s.c., specializes in homemade fresh spaghetti. I ordered the "Chicken Minced Meat with Bone Marrow Salt Butter Soup Pasta" (¥1,350). I chose this dish because I wanted to try their signature "Chicken Minced Meat with Bone Marrow." The pasta comes with a salad and flavored"

"Upon entering, I was seated at a four-person table, diagonally across from another diner. Expecting the food to come out quickly, I ordered the 'Makunai Don' (a negitoro donburi) and a plate of soba noodles for 1,000 yen. There seemed to be a mistake, as my order hadn't gone through and I had to wait a bit. The soba noodles were firm and nicely ab"

"A restaurant serving local dishes from Yakumo Town, Hokkaido. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't choose my own dishes because it was a course meal for a banquet. However, for a ¥4,000 course (with all-you-can-drink), the food was decent and I was satisfied. Considering it includes all-you-can-drink, the value for money is excellent. The manag"

"The thick, chewy udon noodles are delicious. I often go there when I want a quick meal. Personally, I prefer a lighter taste, so my go-to is the spicy miso kama-tama, but the raw soy sauce udon is also good. No-Ra-Bo provides a sense of security knowing that the quality is consistent across all locations."

"It's easy to imagine that this area used to be filled with many small izakayas. However, with large-scale urban redevelopment, small izakayas and yakitori shops are disappearing one by one. This is one of the few that remain. It opens quite early, around 3 pm. I arrived a little after 4 pm, and there was no one else there. There are six seats at th"
