"I stopped by on a whim during my free time before catching the Shinkansen. I enjoyed a quick sake tasting. The tasting selection curated by the owner included: - Tochigi Phoenix Bida - Nara Imanishi - Yamagata Eikofuji And a side of yuzu salt-marinated cod roe. It was a bit late for lunch, so the restaurant wasn't crowded. Some people were leis"

"I entered with the intention of just having a quick drink. It's a long and narrow shop with limited seating. While the food is simple, not requiring a full-fledged kitchen, it's a great place to stop by, chat, and enjoy a few good beers. The selection of craft beers is decent, but their pale ale and lager are particularly good, so even those who on"

"I had some time before checking into my hotel, so I stopped by here for tea. While not a very large space, the atmosphere and furnishings are grand, and the taste, service, and hospitality were top-notch, leaving me truly impressed. It seems you can walk in without a reservation, but it depends on how crowded it is. It's conveniently located nea"

"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"

"It was about 15 years ago when I first visited, wasn't it? I was a university student then, and I still remember how nervous I was when I walked in. The 'night view,' the 'hospitality,' and the 'food' from that time are all unforgettable. It's a restaurant with so many fond memories. I've been here with my girlfriend, wife, friends, and even my mot"

"**VOLPUTAS: A Hidden Gem in Tokyo Station's Gran Roof** Tokyo Station's Yaesu Exit boasts a Gran Roof, a spacious, airy area with several restaurants. It's a hidden gem, often overlooked by travelers rushing through the station. The reason for its relative quiet? The escalator access means people in a hurry don't realize the bustling area above. P"

"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"

"We visited for my wife's birthday. The food was all incredibly delicious! We chose lamb for the main course. It was a lamb chop with some fat, so it was quite meaty. (My wife said she preferred the beef.) They kept refilling our bread plates as soon as they were empty (we ate eight pieces!). The service, atmosphere, everything was excellent. It "

"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"

"Despite making a reservation for 17:00 the previous day, the restaurant seemed to have no record of it. I was worried that our important business dinner after the meeting would be ruined, but thankfully it was still early enough so we were fine. We hadn't made a reservation, but we ordered a course meal anyway. They had an all-you-can-drink option"

"Located in the Tokyo Station's Gourmet Zone Tokyo Ichiban Gai on the 2nd floor, just outside the ticket gates, this restaurant was bustling with lunchtime crowds on a weekday. Despite being full, the restaurant had a large capacity and a quick turnover. We were seated at a two-person table with a bench seat and chair combination in the back of the"

"This restaurant is incredibly popular, making same-day reservations nearly impossible. I arrived around 6:00 PM and was lucky to get a table because someone was leaving, but everyone else who came after me was turned away. Being located inside Tokyo Station, the portions are smaller and the prices are a bit higher, but the food is absolutely del"

"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"

"The service was a series of disappointments. They forgot my birthday plate, and despite me calling multiple times to confirm my food allergies and requesting they not ask again on the day, they still asked. The food was delicious, and the restaurant atmosphere was nice."

"I made a reservation for the "Hana Gokoro" Kaiseki set two days in advance and visited on a weekday in mid-October 2024. The beef cutlet and steamed chicken were incredibly tender and delicious. However, the most delicious dish was the "Enbu-daki" rice cooked in a Zojirushi rice cooker, which was highly recommended. There were three varieties, and "

"This is an Italian restaurant located on the second floor of the Yanmar Building on the Yaesu side of Tokyo Station. The restaurant has a high ceiling, large windows, and an open and airy feel. The interior design and furnishings are stylish and create a fun atmosphere. I enjoyed dinner at a large table in the center of the restaurant, but it was"
