Hyperlocal Tokyo

"Located in the back of Shibuya Hyakkendori, there's a shop that's been around since 1926. It's a super old-school coffee shop with a lot of strict rules: "No photography inside," "No phone calls," "No talking," and cash only. Utada Hikaru even visited for a location shoot. I visited on a weekday night and a weekend. There are plenty of seats and "

"This is my favorite cake shop! I'm not really a sweets person, but I've been searching for a delicious shortcake for a long time. I've tried them at department stores, established shops, and new places. I was a real cake gypsy! It's a cute shop owned by a woman. My favorites are the tiramisu, shortcake, caramel banana tart, fruit tart, and chestnut"

"A cafe located about a 10-minute walk from Shibuya Station. It has plenty of greenery, an open atmosphere, and a terrace, making it a great spot for working on your laptop or relaxing with friends. I personally loved the vibe. ☕️🌿 The food menu looked delicious, and I ordered the crumble tart this time. The outer cookie crust was crunchy, while th"

"It's located on the 5th floor of Shibuya Hikarie. It was a Saturday and a very hot day. It was past lunchtime and there were about 12 people in line, but we didn't have to wait as long as I thought. The matcha was as delicious as I expected. It came with mochi balls and red bean paste. The shaved ice was fluffy and didn't give me a brain freeze. Th"

"August 2022 This is a cafe in Shibuya, located within a 10-minute walk from Shibuya Station. It's inside the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel, a cafe that was selected as one of the "100 Best Cafes" in 2021. I went there on a Sunday afternoon around 3 pm and there were 3 groups waiting. It's quite popular! (ﾟ∀ﾟ) It seemed like there was a turnover, an"

"I visited during the weekday tea time. I was able to make a reservation for a table. Tea time is surprisingly crowded, and it's often difficult to find a seat, so being able to reserve a table is incredibly convenient! It's highly recommended for large group gatherings. I only intended to have tea, but I ended up ordering a terrine, which was delic"

"I was looking for a place to hold a meeting while I was out and about, and I found this shop. Even though it's located at the entrance of the Center Street, the inside is very quiet. The staff, dressed in their uniforms, greet you with a warm and courteous welcome. I had the fruit sandwich, which was very elegant. The cream and fruit were both incr"

"This restaurant is dedicated to promoting the culinary cultures of Japan's prefectures. They regularly feature a different prefecture, with their menu showcasing local specialties and ingredients. During my visit, it was Hiroshima Prefecture. While I really wanted to try okonomiyaki, I opted for the miso katsu don from the 'sub-prefecture' of Aichi"

"The Flamingo Melon was surprisingly large and delicious. As I took a bite, a refreshing flavor spread throughout my mouth, making it the perfect taste for summer. I chose the Hydrangea Parfait. This one featured a delightful combination of fluffy cream and yogurt ice cream, giving it a more refreshing feel than the Flamingo Melon. Inside the parfai"

"I visited this bakery located on the 4th floor of Mark City, adjacent to Shibuya Station, before heading back home from Shibuya. The shop has a bright interior and a wide variety of breads. I purchased a half-size loaf of shokupan (Japanese milk bread) for ¥259 and a melon pan for ¥259, and enjoyed them at home. ◾️ About the purchased bread The "

"We enjoyed the Arabian Lunch Course for ¥4950. It offered a variety of dishes in small portions, which initially seemed like a small amount, but we ended up feeling full. There were some unique dishes we had never tasted before, but everything was delicious. We also requested a birthday plate, which featured a cheesecake topped with dried flowers."

"It's located in the hotel's lounge. The interior is stylish, with a high ceiling and a tall tree in the center. There were many couples and business colleagues, and I was able to relax and enjoy myself. The menu I ordered is below. Menu: Chicken Coconut Curry Price: 1800 yen"

"I visited the shop around 8 pm and found it already bustling with people, so I had to wait about 5 minutes. I ordered the pistachio and strawberry cake, which was incredibly satisfying with its generous use of strawberries. My companion chose the melon and mango parfait, which was equally luxurious with its abundance of fruit and stunning presentat"

"Located in Shibuya's Hikarie, a popular shopping complex, is 'Paul Bassett,' a renowned espresso cafe owned by world barista champion Paul Bassett himself. While they are known for their coffee, they also offer a variety of delicious desserts. ☑︎ Fluffy Pancakes - ¥1,600 (with drink) This time, I ordered the pancakes with a drink. I was told i"

"This is a small, dimly lit coffee shop tucked away in a back alley of Shibuya. I visited for the first time on a Saturday afternoon, and about 90% of the seats were filled. There was no greeting of "Welcome," nor a simple "Please wait" to acknowledge my arrival. The staff's voices were hard to hear and lacked energy, leaving a rather unenthusiastic"

"This cafe is incredibly popular with foreign visitors. The reason? From the window seats, you have a commanding view of the Scramble Crossing. Coupled with the name recognition of L'Occitane, this place is always packed. I was torn between a parfait and a creme brulee, but since it was after a meal, I opted for the latter. I also had a hot cup of t"

"I'm completely smitten with Nutritional Yeast, which I dove headfirst into. I've become a complete devotee of BiOcafe. I had the "Brown Rice Pasta, Vegan Cheese, Carbonara." The white shavings tasted like soy milk. The herb flavor was so strong that I couldn't discern the details. When I scooped up the pasta, I saw a yellow powder underneath. I"

"This coffee stand is located in the underground plaza near Exit B7 of Shibuya Station. It's directly connected to the station, and I recently noticed that it gets quite crowded on weekends.

"I visited around 11 am on a holiday and it was empty, so I was able to get in right away. I had a cafe latte and a cookie. The cafe latte was deep and delicious, and the cookie had a simple flavor. The service was polite and good."
