Hyperlocal Tokyo

"Even though I'm in Tokyo, I suddenly craved the taste of Kyoto, so I went to "Tsujiri" at the Daimaru Tokyo store. I arrived at the 10th floor around 3 pm on a weekday. There were so many Tokyoites who love Kyoto, even on a weekday, there was a line and the store was packed! But it might be less crowded than the Kyoto store. There were about "

"Available from 1 PM to 7 PM only I tried the Zunda Shake Extra. It's a masterpiece that combines the refreshing taste of edamame with a gentle sweetness, topped with whipped cream and zunda sauce. The zunda grains add a nice accent. I was torn between the regular Zunda Shake and this one, but since it was a limited-time offering, I couldn't res"

"When it comes to anmitsu, Mihashi is the place to be. I love it so much that I always stop by whenever I'm at Tokyo Station. They have a wide variety of menu items, but I always end up ordering the shiratama cream anmitsu. It's quite a generous portion. You can enjoy both chewy shiratama and mochi. Their anko is smooth and incredibly delicious 😋."

"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"

"I used this place for a meeting with a client who traveled from afar by Shinkansen. This was my second visit. I was looking for a place with a nice atmosphere that was conveniently located near the Shinkansen station, and this was perfect for a relaxed conversation. It was also great that I could reserve a table online. I was happy to find the Earl"

"The price of ¥440 is a bit iffy, but I guess it's not exactly expensive... I stopped by the Gâteau Harada in the station because I was tempted by a LINE news article I saw on my way out. I didn't know it was located in this underground area on the north side. I think the drinking district I went to before was also around here (north passageway), on"

"I visited around 10:20 am, shortly after the bakery opened. They had all the items, including seasonal specials. They seemed willing to warm up items and package them individually, which would make it easy to eat on the Shinkansen. The lineup includes moist English scones and some unique items like anko (sweet bean paste) and butter sandwiches."

"I spotted a line near the entrance of the Tokyo Daimaru department store! Curious, I approached and discovered that Nenrinya was selling their 'Baumkuchen An-Nama Sand' for a limited time! Since it would be a while until my next meeting, I decided to join the queue. The staff asked how many boxes I wanted (limited to two per person) and gave me a p"

"Tokyo Tulip is a sweet treat I discovered recently, and it's perfect for souvenirs. It's undeniably stylish, visually speaking! The petals are made of cookies, and the cream is in the center, making it look just like a real tulip. The cookies tend to crumble easily, which is a bit of a drawback. Be careful when carrying them around."

"I bought the limited edition Galette Chocolat Epice as a Tokyo souvenir. I was expecting something sweet and chocolatey, but it was actually quite bitter and spicy. It was delicious in its own way, though, and I found myself craving more and more. Haha."

"Located in the Gransta basement level 1, within the ticket gates of JR Tokyo Station, this shop is situated along a wide corridor lined with takeout specialists and souvenir shops. They offer a wide variety of options, from classic black sugar karinto to unique flavors rarely found elsewhere, making it hard to choose. I ended up purchasing a set of"

"The shop is located in the "Marunouchi Saka Area" of "Gransta Tokyo," which is in the basement of Tokyo Station. If you're looking for it based on your knowledge of Gransta, you might have to search a bit. This "Naruto Kintoki Honpo Kurio Shoten" is a "Tabelog Japanese Sweets and Dessert TOKYO 100 Best Shops 2023 Selection." This time, I purcha"

"I visited this place while exploring the gourmet options at Tokyo Station. It's located in the Tokyo Gift Palette, between the Yaesu North Exit and the Daimaru department store, outside the ticket gates. I purchased the following items: * **Small:** This is the end piece of the baumkuchen, a bit drier and denser, but still delicious. It has less "

"I bought this as a souvenir. When I passed by around 10 am on Monday, there was a line, but I was able to get one after waiting. It was a very popular and stylish Tokyo souvenir."

"I purchased cream bread, French toast-style bread, and cheese bread. The custard in the cream bread had a good egg flavor and was delicious. The French toast-style bread wasn't soaked all the way through, which was a bit disappointing, but it was surprisingly tasty. The flavor was good enough to overlook the lack of soaking. The cheese bread was gr"

"A popular Tokyo souvenir. It's been popular for years, hasn't it? It's always a delight to receive. The cookies have caramel and chocolate inside. They're delicious chilled, and even at room temperature, the caramel melts in your mouth. They go well with coffee and tea. The individual packaging is also a nice touch."

"This shop is incredibly popular for its charming design and delicious treats. The bite-sized sweets are as beautiful and adorable as a bouquet of flowers, making them perfect gifts. The dried strawberries add a touch of tartness, creating a delightful balance of sweet and sour flavors. This popular shop always has a line out the door. It's the pe"

"Located within the ticket gates of Tokyo Station, this shop offers takeout and eat-in options for pastries by Pierre Hermé, a legendary pastry chef and superstar in the modern French dessert world. I stopped by for a morning treat before boarding the Shinkansen. The interior is predominantly white, and the product packaging is also white and sleek"

"The Friday-only, Shinjuku workshop-direct dorayaki are available for purchase starting at 12:00 PM! I visited "Mori Ko Shirou, Daimaru Tokyo Store", a 2-minute walk from Tokyo Station's Yaesu Exit. Arriving before 12:00 PM on a weekday, I was the third in line. The two people in front of me both purchased 50 pieces, so it took about 10 minutes to c"

"A quick drink before hopping on the Shinkansen from Tokyo Station. I finally made it to Calbee Plus, a place I've been wanting to try for a while. You can buy limited edition Calbee products here, but today I went for the piping hot Potato Salad (¥370) and a draft beer (¥570). It was a hot day, so the beer hit the spot. Of course, the potato salad "

"【Visit on April 4, 2024】 I visited Fairy Cake Fair in Gransta Tokyo, Tokyo Station for the first time. This shop sells sweets such as cupcakes and whole cakes. It also has a cafe, so you can eat in, which is great. It seemed like tourists were having tea breaks there. I had some cute cupcakes from the display case. I chose a strawberry shortcake"

"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"
