Hyperlocal Tokyo

The only Italian bar in Tokyo Station! Perfect for a quick bite during your downtime. 🇮🇹 Menu: - Panino Carbonara ¥600 - Panino Bolognese ¥600 Review: These small paninos are made with buttery eclair dough and filled with the flavors of a real Italian restaurant. 🌿 I ordered the Carbonara and Bolognese, both with chewy pasta. 👀 They were packed with ingredients and were surprisingly satisfying, even though they were palm-sized. ◎ The wait time was short, making it a great option for a quick meal. ✨️

This is a cafe restaurant located inside Tokyo Station, next to the Shinkansen ticket gate. Given its location, it's a small shop but it was quite crowded. You can buy wine by the bottle, but if you're dining in, they only offer wine by the glass. I just had coffee that day.

I arrived a little before the 8 am opening on a holiday morning, but there was already a line of about 10 people. It's popular! This is my second visit. The shop is located inside Tokyo Station, near the North Exit. They offer a morning menu, including a small panini with coffee for 800 yen. You can order all the cafe menu items, not just coffee, like cafe latte. I ordered the cheese panini cafe set and also the peperoncino. The size is small, but just right, and the bread and filling go very well together. Most customers are taking out, so there are usually plenty of seats. I'll definitely come back again when I'm at Tokyo Station.

That shop with the Aroma Fresca crown. It seems like the location has changed. I bought breakfast here on my way from Hitachi to Mito. Pane Omel Cheese-filled egg bread, 350 yen Small bread hot sandwich with a rich omelet with double the amount of Parmesan cheese. Pane Porchetta Pork belly porchetta bread, 350 yen Small bread hot sandwich with Roman-style pork belly herb roast. I had a cappuccino with this for a total of 1150 yen. Imagine this from the photo. The melting feeling!

During my temporary return from Germany, I also enjoyed Prosecco in Tokyo. A perfect set for a short break. The pickles were cut into small pieces, so they weren't very filling for me, but they were delicious with a nice balance of sourness and sweetness. The sparkling water I ordered was served in a plastic bottle and could be taken away, which was great. It was also very affordable at 250 yen, which is a good price for a restaurant.
