Found this on social media somewhere and thought it was cute enough to visit. It’s located just off one of the side-streets of shibuya and should be easy enough for most to find. Apparently peak hours can have massive lines so I would recommend going sometime between 2-5pm (we went at about 4pm and were […]
肉バル 将泰庵 (Niku Bar Shoutaian)
A new favourite of mine, I found this place while looking up lesser-known restaurants in the area to try and I’m surprised by the lack of foreigners here! All the better for me as it means the already-small restaurant doesn’t have a daunting line out the door to stop me from visiting so often. They […]
Tonkatsu Maisen
Happened upon this place when exploring around our hotel in Shibuya, and ended up going back another 2 times during the same trip! Tonkatsu is one of my favourite dishes and Tonkatsu Maisen’s dishes are mouth-wateringly delicious. Most tonkatsu look more or less the same, however I did go with a kurobuta (black pork) hire […]
Shin Udon
Read about this place online because I love udon/soba and wanted to find someplace that came highly recommended to try. It was a bit hard to find the exact place but I followed the directions (and you can also check the map below) and found it without much trouble. It helps that there was a […]
Tokyo Snake Centre
Managed to convince a friend to come with me to this snake cafe and despite the fact they initially said they didn’t like snakes, my friend said that they actually enjoyed the experience quite a bit. He was way too jumpy whenever a snake moved though and almost dropped one which would not have been […]
Kawaii Monster Cafe
Saw a video about this restaurant on Facebook and thought it would be interesting enough to give it a try. You can see a short clip of us entering the restaurant here. The music was a little loud at times but the staff were lively, friendly and very accommodating; especially given most of their clientele […]
Red Rock
Finally managed to visit this place again to get some pictures. I have been salivating for their beef bowls from the moment we decided to visit Tokyo again. My local friend brought me here last year and though there was a line, the food was definitely worth the wait. Red Rock uses the vending-machine system […]
Ganso Kujiraya (元祖 くじら屋)
The sign out front says it all: “We are a whale meat restaurant.” The meals come in sets (like the one at the bottom) with you choosing how you want the whale meat prepared for your main dish. Left to right from the pictures we had: raw whale sashimi, whale skin (separate dish), whale steak, […]
