"This coffee shop has the air of a traditional Japanese establishment with a long history. You can enjoy both fragrant mocha and slightly darker roasts with a bitter edge. There were a few people vaping when I was there, but it wasn't too bothersome. The owner seemed very kind, and it was a nice shop overall."

"I visited around 1:30 PM. The restaurant was almost full, and I waited about 3 minutes before being seated. The place has a chic, Western-style ambiance, which is fantastic.

"I went around 3 PM on a Saturday and there was a line of about 12 people. I didn't count exactly, but it felt like I waited for almost an hour. The staff was very friendly. Personally, I didn't need the berries inside the strawberry dessert, but it was delicious nonetheless. I was worried if I could finish one by myself, but it was gone in a flash"

"A place in Ningyocho where you can enjoy authentic hamburgers. I visited for lunch on a weekend.

The flavors of the various ingredients blended together beautifully. However, personally, I would l"

"◎First Visit: September 2024 I visited around 12:30 PM on a weekday and there was no wait. I sat at a table for four in the back of the shop. The interior is a traditional Japanese space, fitting well with the atmosphere of the Ningyocho area. It naturally feels calming. The shop only has tables, and I'm sure it's easy to use for both solo diners"

"A long-established shop specializing in takeout ningyo-yaki (a type of Japanese pastry). While there was a line when I visited last Sunday, I was able to purchase them without waiting on a weekday afternoon around 2 pm. Since trying these ningyo-yaki, my whole concept of ningyo-yaki has changed! They are truly delicious. I haven't found any ni"

"While strolling through the charming Ama-zake Yokocho alley in Nihonbashi, a delightful aroma wafted through the air. The source of this enticing scent was none other than 'Morinoyen,' a venerable hojicha specialty shop established in 1914 during the Taisho era. ⭐︎ Located just a two-minute walk from 人形町 Station, the shop's first floor features a v"

"**[Entered with a 0-year-old]** The shop was quiet, and my daughter's cries echoed. It's a bit of a shame for a place with children. The staff were very welcoming. It was past lunchtime, but I asked if they could make a sandwich for me. The sandwich was delicious, and the set coffee was truly a coffee shop's coffee, with a deep flavor. This time "

"This traditional Japanese dish from Tokyo's Ningyocho district is a curious combination of yellow frozen pudding, white sugar water, salty red beans, and another type of bean. The flavor is quite unusual, with the beans being particularly salty. The sweet, salty, and slightly sour texture might be difficult for foreigners to adjust to. My son, who "

"A traditional bakery in the old town. They have a wide variety of breads, all at reasonable prices! From sandwiches to yakisoba bread, bagels, and croissants, everything was delicious!

"Excelsior, conveniently located just a short walk from Ningyocho Station on the Tokyo Metro. Despite being in the city center, the cafe is quite spacious and always bustling, but finding a seat shouldn't be too difficult. They also have a decent number of seats for heated tobacco smokers, and a separate smoking room for those who prefer traditional"

"I ordered the "White Peach Milk Shaved Ice (Okayama Prefecture Produce) (Large)" for ¥3,500 and a chai tea for ¥650. The shaved ice 🍧 wasn't that big, and the peach 🍑 decoration on the front was thin, only 3-5mm thick. I was shocked to find no peach on the back. I thought shaved ice was supposed to be covered in something on all sides, but this w"
