A Food Blogger Shares Her Favorite Places to Grab a Bite

When I’m recommending a place to go eat, there are three things that I consider. Is the food delicious? Does the food or drink look good in a photograph? Does the experience offer something uniquely Japanese? I’m going to introduce a few places in Tokyo that have all of these qualities, and more. These spots don’t just have fantastic food or drink; they provide a great atmosphere too. Also, many cafes in Japan have stylish staff uniforms, so be sure to look out for them!

  1. Maison Able Cafe Ron Ron is a sweet shop styled like a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. Customers can pick from a variety of sweets!
  2. Shirohige’s Cream Puff Factory offers Totoro-shaped cream puffs that are both cute and delicious.
  3. Kitaro Chaya has a historic Japanese atmosphere and an Instagram-worthy “yokai” menu sure to be a hit with anime fans!
  4. Nakamura Tokichi’s Ginza location offers an exclusive “Bessei Marutto Parfait,” made with high-quality matcha.
