Must-Try Restaurants in Tokyo
Chacha Futatsume
Matcha ice cream near Sensoji Temple—great spot for a Sky Tree photo!
Juan Bowl & Tea Tokyo
The best wagyu chazuke (tea-soaked rice) in Omotesando, and their eel rice is amazing too!
Yakiniku Hormone Bondz Akasaka
A top-notch yakiniku (grilled meat) spot in Akasaka—reservations recommended!

Yellow Spice
A highly-rated soup curry place in Ginza—authentic flavors with customizable spice levels (anything above level 3 is pretty spicy).
Nanaya Aoyama
A must-try matcha ice cream! Choose intensity levels 1–7 (I went for 7—not bitter, barely sweet, but incredibly aromatic).
