numbers with A5 representing the highest quality all burgers feature 100% Wagyu beef 
patties and special rice flour bands there are several variations to choose from 
including the classic three cheeseburger and teriyaki i got the cheeseburger it was incredibly 
tasty with the soft texture and juiciness that only Wagyu beef can offer the price for a single 
burger was 1,380 yen in a relaxed atmosphere you can enjoy the rich flavor of top grade Wagyu beef 
perfect for a slightly special burger experience in Nihonashi Tokyo this restaurant is a popular 
pancake chain with locations throughout Japan number two a happy pancake it’s known for its 
fluffy texture and natural sweetness the interior features soft green tones and a natural design 
creating a relaxing atmosphere i visited the Kit Joi branch but there are also locations in 
major areas such as Shibuya Ginsa and Igbukuro i got their signature item the happy pancake it’s 
served with manuka honey syrup and whipped butter made from Hokkaido fermented butter i recommend 
enjoying all three together for the best flavor the butter is made from scratch after each order 
so it takes about 20 minutes to be served but this ensures you can enjoy the fresh justmade taste 
the menu also includes a variety of other pancake options such as those topped with fresh fruit 
prices start at 1,380 yen which is a great value considering the quality of the ingredients 
and the final presentation advanced online reservation throughout the official website are 
recommended this restaurant is a reasonably priced Japanese style izakaya that opened in July 2024 
number three Beef Kitchen Stand an izakaya is a casual Japanese pub where you can enjoy drink and 
a wide variety of small dishes the main appeal of this spot is that you can enjoy over 60 different 
small plates each priced around 100 to 400 yen it’s locally known for its affordable prices great 
taste and welcoming atmosphere it’s perfect for those who want to try a little bit of everything

green soybeans called edamame and the drink a typical starter in Japanese izakaya we were very 
satisfied with our meal and it came to under 2,000 yen per person seating is limited so making an 
online reservation in advance is recommended this is a chain restaurant popular among locals in 
Japan as a cozy yaki bar number four Niku Azabu the appeal of this place is that you can enjoy 
high quality meat mainly A4 to A5 ranked Japanese Wagyu beef in a casual atmosphere this time we 
visited the Aisu branch located near Shibuya other locations include Shimbashi a popular area for 
businessmen and Nishi Azabu known for its upscale vibe the restaurant is stylish and clean with 
counter seating available making it suitable for a wide range of customers from solo yakiniku diners 
to groups the staff grilled the meat in front of us with care and we were very satisfied with both 
the quality and quantity we ordered the omakas course priced at 3,500 yen per person although 
this restaurant is still a hidden gem among foreign tourists the price is quite reasonable for 
the quality and portion size i highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Japanese

in the world and the only one in Japan located in Nakameuro number five Starbucks Reserve Roastery 
Tokyo about a 40inut walk from Nakameuro station the store has drawn attention from coffee lovers

allows customers to closely observe the authentic coffee roasting process with the aroma of freshly 
roasted beans and the open layout the space feels like a coffee theme park the store spans four 
floors each with its own themed bar and counter in addition to coffee you can enjoy a bakery a tea 
bar and even a cocktail bar making it much more than just a typical cafe the seating it’s spacious 
and flexible allowing guests to relax and enjoy their time comfortably we had a moose form Irish 
coffee the cream brew latte and a slice of cake while the cream brew latte is no longer available 
seasonal and store exclusive items are always on offer so there’s something new to try with 
every visit weekends and holidays tend to be extremely crowded so visiting on a weekday is 
highly recommended this is a popular yakitoi restaurant for the masses located in Kabukicho 
the heart of Shinjuku number six Tori Sakaba although it’s in a busy tourist area it remains a 
hidden gem for foreign visitors and is well loved by locals we had the 4,000 course which included

tuna with pomzu sauce chicken steak two kinds of skewers fried chicken and potatoes fried 
cabbage and vegetables and yakisoba noodles the meal was hearty flavorful and satisfying

sensitive to cigarette smoke should take note this spot is perfect for those who want to 
eat and drink well without breaking the bank this Japanese style cafe originated in Kyoto and 
is well known for its high quality traditional sweets and thoughtful hospitality number seven
