"I visited the renowned Imahan Honten in Ningyocho. Upon entering the charming establishment, I was greeted by a waitress. The appetizer consisted of seven dishes: sesame tofu, lotus root cake, namasu (vinegared vegetables), ayu fish with roe, white-simmered persimmon, watercress with dressing, and Hagi-style fish paste. Each dish showcased meticulo"

"A place in Ningyocho where you can enjoy authentic hamburgers. I visited for lunch on a weekend. There was a queue of about 15 people, but the turnover was fast and I was able to be seated in about 20 minutes. I ordered the Lot Burger with BBQ sauce. The flavors of the various ingredients blended together beautifully. However, personally, I would l"

"This popular restaurant often has a queue, but I was lucky to find only one group waiting ahead of me. While waiting, they pass around menus and order sheets, so it's good to decide what you want in advance. I ordered the recommended supreme (special ramen) + grilled beef rice set, and both the ramen and rice were packed with meat, making it a very"

"I arrived at 11:05 am on a weekday. There was already a line, and judging from their conversations, many of the people waiting seemed to be tourists who had traveled from far away. I was able to enter the restaurant at 11:15 am, just barely making it through the first round. I ordered the tempura donburi. Before the donburi arrived, they brought "

"If you're a fan of standing soba (noodles), this is a must-try place! 😁 I visited for the first time around 3 pm on a weekday for a late lunch. The temperature outside was over 30 degrees Celsius 😩, so I had a cold tanuki soba (noodles with tempura scraps). *I've been into cold tanuki soba lately (laughs)* It was incredibly delicious, as expect"

"This standing udon shop offers incredible value for money. Everything on the menu is delicious, but I highly recommend their cold udon dishes. Oniyanma has locations in Nihonbashi, Shibuya, and Gotanda, making it a great option for anyone looking for a tasty udon experience in Tokyo."

"I ordered the noodles firm, and they were perfectly chewy, just the way I like them. The broth was also delicious, making this a high-quality Jiro-style ramen. While many comments mention the intimidating atmosphere, I also felt it. However, the rules are clearly posted outside and inside the restaurant, so you should be fine if you read them ca"

"I went there because I heard their katsu-don (breaded pork cutlet rice bowl) was highly recommended. I'm happy that it comes with lots of vegetables. The clam miso soup is also a welcome addition. The bite-sized cutlets are marinated in a rich sauce and piled high in the bowl, leaving me completely satisfied. It's a small shop, but the service is i"

"The restaurant is located about a 5-minute walk from Ningyocho Station, accessible via the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and the Toei Asakusa Line. I arrived before 11:00 AM on a weekday, aiming to be there before the 11:25 AM opening. To my surprise, even at this early hour, I couldn't get in during the first round. (They are closed on weekends.) The"

"The Evolution and Flavor of Fish Set Meals I visited "Uokyu Eat-in Ajimise" in Ningyocho. This shop, known for its Kyoto-style kasuzuke (fish marinated in sake lees), offers an eat-in space where you can enjoy the kasuzuke fish sold on the first floor. This time, I savored the "Ajiwai Teishoku" (Flavor Set Meal). ◎ Good Points ● Fresh and Delicio"

"I visited on a weekday afternoon. There was no line, but the restaurant was almost full. I usually pass by, but today I felt like having cold dan dan noodles, so I decided to give it a try. I purchased a ticket for the limited-edition cold dan dan noodles (B) for ¥1,000 and a free rice for lunch. The noodles arrived about 5 minutes after I sat down"

"I visited this restaurant after visiting Oami Shrine. I made a reservation for 12:30 PM on a Saturday, but there was a sign saying they were fully booked. I ordered the limited-edition gratin lunch. It wasn't a heavy, creamy gratin, but rather a dish with a variety of short pasta, making it visually and texturally appealing. It was packed with se"

"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! They also have an eat-in area, so I enjoyed a drink and a meal. It was bustling with office workers during lunchtime, which is a testament to its popularity. It's a "

"Tucked away on a narrow alley that you might easily miss, this restaurant is a hidden gem. The interior has a charming, almost secret-like atmosphere that would surely impress any woman you bring along. From the counter seats on the first floor, you can witness the meticulous craftsmanship firsthand. The detailed process of preparing the batter and"

"A renowned Japanese-style restaurant famous for its large oyster cutlet lunch. I visited in November 2021. They seem to have made the large oyster cutlet by gathering many small oysters, and I was impressed by their technique and the spirit of resourcefulness. Of course, the oyster cutlet was incredibly delicious. Well, I'm a huge oyster fan. "

"I made a reservation for the ¥2,500 lunch with one drink! The drink included alcohol, so I chose sparkling wine. The appetizer platter was generous! The corn soup was rich and delicious. There were three pasta options and a risotto to choose from. I went with the cabbage, anchovy, and tomato peperoncino pasta. The portion size was huge! Even a ma"

"A wonderful restaurant serving tempura and soba noodles. The stylish interior evokes the Edo period charm of Ningyocho. The service from the owner and his wife is warm and welcoming. The seasonal tempura served in the course is exquisite. You can choose to have your soba noodles hot, cold, or both. The delicate, thin noodles are delicious. It was a"
