"This is a renowned establishment specializing in light, seafood-based ramen. I usually order the light, yuzu salt ramen when I come here. What's truly remarkable is that despite being completely free of chemical seasonings, it bursts with an incredible depth of flavor. Could this be the origin of the '¥1,000 wall' often discussed in the ramen indus"

"We visited this restaurant after choosing their pair set from a catalog gift. We arrived at noon on a weekday, but there were already about 10 groups waiting in line, and we waited for about 40 minutes. There were also many foreign tourists in line. We went with our child, and they were able to provide a child's chair. However, they didn't seem to "

"We went there on a Saturday afternoon and had to wait about 30 minutes. There were plenty of seats and the atmosphere was really nice. The food ranged from ¥1,500 to ¥2,000 per dish, which I think is a bit pricey even for Omotesando, but it was delicious. The ricotta pancakes were amazing (I forgot to take a picture)."

"I ordered the large steak donburi. A perfectly cooked and sliced steak was piled on top of the rice! The sweet and savory sauce was delicious and went perfectly with the rice. The fried egg and wasabi topping were the perfect finishing touches. It was so good!"

"I revisited this place alone on a Saturday at 12:05 PM, after a long time. There were three people waiting, but I was able to purchase my ticket (九州じゃんがらラーメン全部乗せ, with regular noodles, ¥1,590) right away and was seated at the counter. The cold water arrived promptly. The ramen arrived after about five minutes. The soup was a mild, easy-to-drink t"

"We made a reservation for 9 people and were able to enter smoothly. The food was all visually appealing and delicious, but I would have liked a bit more spice punch... I added hot sauce, haha. Since we could speak Spanish, our waiter was very cheerful and we had a lot of fun chatting with him! It was a really enjoyable experience. The "chulos c"

"This is a long-established pizzeria in Milan, Italy, with over 60 years of history. It's the only place in Japan where you can enjoy their pizzas, with their first overseas branch being in Tokyo's Harajuku district. It seems they have a passionate following among Japanese tourists and residents visiting Milan. The pizzas are notable for their impr"

"I had lunch at a long-established Chinese restaurant near Harajuku Station that recently celebrated its 60th anniversary. Upon entering, the atmosphere was surprisingly tranquil, a stark contrast to the bustling streets of Harajuku. The first floor serves as a waiting area, while the restaurant itself is located in the basement. As I descended th"

"I visited for lunch on a weekday. This popular restaurant, known for its keema curry, is located on the bustling Takeshita Street in front of Harajuku Station. This time, I went for the classic keema curry (¥1,000) without hesitation. I was also tempted by the keema curry with cheese, which comes with a generous amount of cheese, but I wanted to tr"

"This time, I went to Harajuku Yakiniku KINTAN. This time, I had a luxurious course that included KINTAN's recommended dishes such as "30-day aged tongue", "grilled heart", "beef sushi", "Japan's best sirloin yukke", "grilled sukiyaki", and "foie gras and truffle stone-baked bibimbap". First of all, the volume, variety, and deliciousness of the m"

"Located just a 30-second walk from Exit 7 of Meiji Jingumae Station. This restaurant offers a menu with a focus on high-quality ingredients. They have both cafe and dining options, which is very helpful. The white liver pate is absolutely delicious. They also offer steak and other meat dishes, as well as sandwiches and pasta. The interior has a sli"

"Reservations are highly recommended as this is a popular spot. Lunch dishes range from around ¥1600 to ¥2500, and with drinks, expect to spend around ¥3000. The price reflects the location. The ¥2000 beef cheeseburger and fries set was a bit smaller than a McDonald's burger, but delicious. The fries were of a similar quality to those found at famil"

"The counter at the front is great for a quick drink, and the outdoor terrace is lovely when the weather is nice. Today was too hot, so I stayed inside. The charcuterie and cheese set with your choice of alcohol was good. The maritozzo was also light and easy to eat. It definitely made me feel like I was in Italy."

"This soba noodle restaurant is located in front of Meiji Jingu Shrine. It's a slightly edgy two-story building, just a five-minute walk from the station's intersection down a side street. There's a ticket machine outside where you purchase your meal, then hand it over at the counter inside, and they bring it up to the second-floor seating area. The"

"A Chinese restaurant in Harajuku. It's located about a 10-minute walk from Harajuku Station. It was awarded the "Top 100 Chinese Restaurants in Japan" in 2021. Established in 1977, it's a pretty seasoned establishment. I went there on a weekday at around 1:30 PM and there were 3 groups waiting. It's amazing to see this many people waiting on a we"

"September 2024, Dinner Visit Generally, this restaurant is one of the few that are open near Harajuku Station, so I've been there a few times. However, the food takes a really long time to come out! I always wonder what they're doing because it takes so long. It's fine if you're chatting, but I wouldn't recommend going if you're in a hurry. I "

"The main dish prices are around ¥1,500 for pasta, and salad, soup, and drinks (green tea, oolong tea, coffee) are all refillable. The pasta is delicious, needless to say, and the salad changes daily, but the avocado potato salad, steamed chicken with bean sprouts (lemon-flavored, namul-style) were particularly tasty. Overall, it's great value for "
