"I entered the restaurant around 3 PM and had the "Super Rich Tokyo Station Ramen." The turnover was fast, so I was able to get in quickly and the ramen came out soon after. The quality of the ingredients was high, and the toppings like the pointed bamboo shoots and char siu paired well with the soup. The soup wasn't as "super rich" as I expected, b"

"Matsuto Fuda Menban (Matsuto Fuda Noodle Bond) is a popular ramen shop in Matsuto, Chiba Prefecture. I arrived at the shop at 11:18 am on a weekday and found a line of over 15 people. I expected to wait for about 30 minutes, but I was seated in less than 15 minutes. They seem to have an efficient system for managing the queue. The shop has 28 seats"

"I visited Yaba Ton, the Gransta Yaesu branch in Tokyo Station. Update: I went there two weeks in a row. The location of the store is a bit hard to find, but you can find it if you go to the ramen street. The taste is the best miso katsu (pork cutlet). (Update) I went back because I couldn't forget the taste. I ordered a single piece of fillet "

"After a hearty meal and drinks in Shinbashi, I decided to have ramen for dinner at Tokyo Station's Ramen Street. As expected, it was packed. I found Ebisoba Ichigen, a ramen shop with its main branch in Sapporo, a little further away and decided to give it a try. I couldn't forget the taste of the ramen I had at the Sapporo branch. There was a line"

"Salt Tsukemen Hirugao Mori (Salt Dipping Noodles Hirugao Mori) This is the place that serves my favorite salt tsukemen. The rich clam broth soup with scallops and the smooth, chewy flat noodles are a perfect match. I still remember the shock I felt when I first tried it. It's a shame that there isn't a store near my home, but I make sure to go whe"

"Located in a relatively less crowded area near Tokyo Station, which is always packed, this place is a hidden gem. The miso-ni-kome udon is incredibly delicious! The rich miso broth is full of flavor, and I wanted to drink every last drop. The noodles are firm and have a unique stick-like texture. I love that there are plenty of seats, making it a c"

"This renowned establishment was founded by Takeshi Kida, a charismatic figure in the Kansai udon world. They serve thick udon noodles made with domestic wheat, known for their smooth, chewy texture. They have been selected for the Tabelog Udon TOKYO 100 Best Restaurants for four consecutive years since 2017! I ordered the Chikutama Bukkake (¥930 fo"

"Located in Gransta, within Tokyo Station, this is a curry bread specialty store. It's a bakery with its main store in Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture, and this particular store specializes in curry bread. They use carefully selected ingredients and a unique method to create a crispy texture and juicy curry filling. The convenient location inside Tok"

"The "Ramen Battle Zone" on the B1F of KITTE Tokyo. This area is packed with popular ramen shops, including Matsutomitamaenban, with lines stretching throughout the day. However, Fuku-mi has relatively shorter queues. After a business meeting at Marunouchi Building, I had some time to spare, so I decided to try this place since the wait wouldn't be "

"I visited for lunch on a weekday during the summer. The interior is modern with a high ceiling and feels spacious, but the seating arrangement felt quite cramped, typical of Asian design. Even though it was still during the pandemic, the movable tables were close together. Given the location, the clientele was diverse, including both domestic and i"

"To my knowledge, this is the only hotel in the area that serves proper afternoon tea with high-quality tea. The staff clearly understands the importance of water temperature when brewing tea, allowing the flavors and aromas of the leaves to fully develop. The tea is perfectly balanced, avoiding any bitterness. While the food may not be overly elab"

"The incredibly popular Shrimp Cutlet Sandwich I visited "Sandwich House Märchen, Daimaru Tokyo Store," directly connected to the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station. It's located on the B1 floor of Daimaru Tokyo. I arrived around 12 pm on a Sunday, and while there was a line, I was able to check out quickly. I purchased the Shrimp Cutlet and Egg Pair Sa"

"This sushi restaurant is located in Midtown Yaesu, which is directly connected to Tokyo Station via the underground. It originally was in Chiba, but moved here when Midtown opened. You can make reservations through the table check system. It's usually pretty full, but you can still get a reservation. I made a reservation for a weekday evening and"
