Shinagawa/Meguro/Gotanda

THE CITY BAKERY

Came from from NY, now running 4 branches in the Tokyo area. Personally like this bakery a lot, particularly their "French toast" (we call it that way in Japan though I'm pretty sure French people don't eat it or see it as "French", haha) …

Gotanda Shinanoya

Shinasoba-Hasebe

Simple, traditional soy-sause-baesd with fish-stock Ramen, which I can eat every day without getting tired of it. Not the kind of Ramen you get blown away by, but more like a day-to-day food. Best to have after having a few drinks. Located…

Meat Yazawa

Photos from website Such a beefy place. Nothing but beef. Don't even think about coming unless you love beef. You eat either beef steak or groud beef steak. The quality of beef is certainly guaranteed. One thing to be careful of is that th…

Quintessence

Photos by きゅいそん Often rated as one of the top French restaurants in Tokyo. MUST make a reservation 2 months prior. All the foodies keep coming back here. In fact, pretty impressive for the first time. A jacket is necessary for men. My…
