"The corn bavarois was sweet and delicious. I was surprised by the artistic appetizer. The shark fin soup was piping hot and delicious with winter melon. The other dishes, especially the vegetables, were particularly good, but honestly, the meat was just okay. The noodles at the end weren't very tasty. Overall, I found the food to be quite salty. Th"

"I went there around 4:30 PM on a weekday and was able to get a table right away. I ordered the Kintamamen for ¥1,300. I thought ¥1,300 was a bit pricey, but it came with a marinated egg and a large piece of char siu. Plus, they let you take as much seaweed and raw egg as you want. They also had a good selection of flavor-changing items like garlic "

"We had lunch here to celebrate a special occasion. We enjoyed a set menu in a private room. The restaurant is easily accessible from Tokyo Station, and being on the 36th floor of Marunouchi Building was exciting. The staff greeted us with smiles. The dishes all highlighted the natural flavors of the ingredients, enhanced by aromatic vegetables and"

"Tokyo Midtown Yaesu, easily accessible from Tokyo Station. The building is very impressive, and I was able to find this restaurant from the entrance without any trouble. The restrooms are also very close and clean. The restaurant has an open entrance, and the seating is limited, so it's not crowded and the noise doesn't bother you. I had a wonde"

"Meat Yazawa, a famous spot in Gotanda! I'd heard so much about it but somehow never got around to trying it. This time I splurged and got the luxurious bento box! I was shocked when I saw the price tag. It was the first time I'd ever spent 9,000 yen on a bento box! The contents were pretty impressive: ハンバーグ (hamburger), Yazawa steak, and sirloi"

"Breakfast at 'Rokurinsha' in Yaesu Located in Yaechika, directly connected to Tokyo Station. Tokyo Ramen Street is a gathering of popular ramen shops. Some shops offer morning ramen, and lines can form early. This time, I ordered the Rokurinsha Special Morning Tsukemen (Regular) for 950 yen. The soup was rich. It's said to be based on pork bone "

"The Shangri-La Lobby Lounge✨ Shiny Summer Afternoon Tea I made a reservation through Ikyu and visited during the lunch hour! Everything, from the sweets to the savories, was absolutely delicious! Afternoon tea can sometimes feel overly sweet with the desserts in the latter half, but here, the savories were also plentiful, which was great. Persona"

"My 60th Birthday Dinner Celebration It was at "Hiro Centro," an Italian restaurant on the 35th floor of Marunouchi Building. Last year, I also celebrated here, so it feels a bit nostalgic. My mother, who lives with me, and my younger daughter, who lives in Tokyo, joined me. It's incredibly heartwarming to have my daughter here! Today is the Ni-no"

"This is a shop where you can see a tea performance by a tea master. They pour hot water into a bowl using a long-spouted teapot. I watched, wondering how they managed to keep it from spilling. The tea performance is famous, but the food was also delicious and the service was excellent."

"The Paris-Brest dessert (+¥660) was delicious and satisfying. As a sweet tooth, I enjoyed the entire volume by myself. The coffee ice cream in the middle plays a great role. The appetizer was a quiche with a strong flavor of burdock. The main course, bone-in chicken, had tender meat that went well with the red wine sauce, but the flavor of the meat"

"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 had lunch here during a business trip to Tokyo. The menu featured several types of curry, Hayashi rice, and the option to combine two dishes. I chose the A5-rank Matsusaka beef Royal Black Curry and the Matsusaka beef Hayashi rice combination, adding the lunch set. The set included a small combination salad and a small scoop of mountain pepper-fl"

"I was craving something sweet, so I went to the Lieber Tokyo location! I ordered the seasonal Strawberry and Shine Muscat Parfait. The visual impact was impressive—the parfait was beautifully arranged with plenty of strawberries and Shine Muscat grapes. The balance of the tartness from the strawberries, the juiciness of the Shine Muscat, and the cr"

"This restaurant is located inside the Yaesu Central Gate of Tokyo Station. It's a counter-only establishment with a bright and stylish atmosphere. I ordered the shoyu ramen with an egg. At ¥1,530, it's a bit pricey considering the current economic climate and the location, but the rich chicken broth was flavorful and delightful. The soup was refine"

"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 restaurant is famous for being the birthplace of Katsu Curry. While the main branch is in Ginza, I was in the Tokyo Station area around lunchtime, so I visited the restaurant in the Tokyo Station underground mall (to be precise, the Yaesu Underground Mall) to enjoy the original flavor. Since it's just a curry corner in the underground mall, "

"I'd always seen the line and wanted to try it. I went on a weekday around 10:00 am and there was almost no wait. It's open early in the morning, so you don't have to aim for opening time, which makes it pretty easy to go. When I handed over my ticket, they asked if I wanted garlic. I missed the chance to ask for extra veggies or change the pork to "
