#celebrateit I visited Madame Shrimp in Ginza to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and what a fantastic experience it was! The restaurant’s name really says it all—it’s a shrimp lover’s dream. We indulged in a shrimp-themed course meal that was absolutely delicious. From crispy shrimp appetizers to perfectly cooked shrimp in various styles, every dish was packed with flavor. The freshness of the shrimp really stood out, and each course felt like a celebration of seafood! The staff at Madame Shrimp were incredibly friendly and attentive. They made sure we had everything we needed, and to our delight, they even brought out a beautiful birthday plate at the end of the meal. It was such a thoughtful touch that made the celebration even more special. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual yet memorable celebration. Whether you’re a fan of shrimp or just looking for a unique dining experience in Ginza, this place is definitely worth a visit. Why I recommend this place: It’s perfect for shrimp lovers with a full shrimp-themed course. The staff goes above and beyond, even helping with special occasions like birthdays. 📍Address: 〒104-0061 Tokyo, Chuo City, Ginza, 8 Chome−4−27 #Ginza #Tokyo #MadameShrimp #ShrimpLovers #BirthdayCelebration #TokyoDining

I happened to wake up early, so I decided to go to this cafe to get some morning action ☕️ They have three stores in the nearby areas of Higashi-Nihonbashi, Hamacho, and Kuramae. They open from 7am, and there was a wide variety of snacks like sandwiches on display!

●Name Menya Hisashi ●Access 3-3-9 Nihonbashi Kayabacho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 🚗Use nearby parking ●Points Actually, this was my first time trying ramen that is said to be Jiro-style😅 The noodles are from Kaikaro in Asakusa The flavor is concentrated with dark soy sauce The photo shows the bean sprouts and normal garlic I only ordered the extra-large portion, but I'm not sure I could eat it all... There are about 10 seats at the counter, The noodles are thick so they take a while to boil, but I think the turnover rate is fast In conclusion, it was delicious😊 The char siu was especially delicious I'd like to come back when I want to eat something hearty or get energized #Tokyo #Gourmet #Ramen

I visited Brothers, a hamburger shop near Ningyocho Station. I love hamburgers and have tried many different places, but this is the best so far. The patty is full of meat juice, and the texture and flavor are excellent. In addition, balance is key in a hamburger, and this one is wonderfully well-made with every part being just as good as the meat. #cafehopping #triplucky2022 #gourmettrip

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Nice to meet you at Takeoka-style ramen 😏 It is characterized by its pitch black soup and is said to be one of the three great ramen in Chiba.

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip I finally got to visit a restaurant in my neighborhood that I've always wanted to go to! It was my first time so I didn't understand the system, but I was told that choosing from a few courses is more economical than ordering a single course🉐 The courses were prepared in increments of several hundred yen, starting from about 3500 yen, but the ingredients became more luxurious and the portions were quite large from the 4000 yen course! However, I was told that the portions were quite large for women, so I chose the 3800 yen course🩵 Even so, there were a lot of snacks and the alcohol was very cheap, which was a constant surprise🤣 Isn't 900 yen for 2 cups of sake amazing?! Next time I'd like to try a course in the 4000 yen range🥰 📍16-17 Kodenmacho, Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 4 minutes walk from Kodenmacho Station #SushiTomi #TokyoSushiRestaurant#KodenmachoDinner#KodenmachoLunch#KodenmachoStation#SushiGourmet#SakeIzakaya

#Tokyo Food Guide Turret coffee, which has a 4.6-star rating on Google, has been saved in Google Maps for quite some time. I happened to be heading to Tsukiji a few days ago, so I made a special plan to go there in the morning to try it out. The first thing I ordered was oat milk latte, 690 yen. Turret COFFEE uses three times the amount of coffee beans as regular coffee. Not only does the color of the coffee look rich, but the taste is also very mellow. It is one of my top three favorite coffees I have had in Tokyo. I have visited it several times since then. Although I often have to wait, I think it is worth it. If you go to Tsukiji, I recommend you to try it. Please note that you are not allowed to take photos in the store! Address: 2 Chome-12-6 Tsukiji, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0045 Japan

#Tokyo Food Guide A bowl of the seafood donburi, which was once the best in Tokyo, costs less than NT$300. If you eat one-third of it, you can get more rice for free to make sea bream soup rice. The Nihonbashi seafood donburi tsujiban is really delicious. It is recommended to come in the afternoon when there are fewer people so as not to wait too long.

#Tokyo Food Guide "Tsukiji Honganji Café Tsumugi" located in the information center next to Tsukiji Honganji Temple offers many Japanese meals, desserts and a variety of tea drinks. The most popular one is the special set meal called "18-course breakfast". "Course" means "one dish" in Japanese. As the name suggests, this meal contains a total of 18 dishes, such as "Yuzu Tofu", "Yuba Salmon Roe", "Roast Duck with Sansho", etc. The 18 dishes are arranged on a wooden rectangular tray, and the visual effect is quite eye-catching. The daily supply of "18-course breakfast" is limited. Although you can wait for a table on site, it will be reserved for guests with reservations first. It is recommended to make a reservation in advance through the official reservation website to avoid being disappointed. The 18-course breakfast has been on my list of cafes to go to for a while. I tried to make a reservation several times but there was no availability. This time, about a month ago, I happened to see a time slot at 8:30 a.m. on a weekday, so I quickly pressed the reservation button. You will receive an email notification after the appointment is successful. I am looking forward to it from the moment the appointment is successful. When I went there that day, I was seated on the sofa. The food was served in less than 10 minutes after I ordered. The "18-item breakfast" set includes a bowl of white porridge, a bowl of miso soup, 14 side dishes, a piece of fruit and a dessert, a total of 18 dishes. The white porridge can be refilled for free, and it also comes with a cup of green tea. The price is 2,200 yen. The dark green one on the upper right is the dessert Matcha jelly. Apart from the dessert and the fruit on the left, the rest are side dishes. The orange one below the matcha jelly is seaweed mentaiko. I personally think this dish is quite spicy. If you are not able to eat spicy food or if you have children, you may want to be careful. It is very relaxing to enjoy breakfast while looking out at Tsukiji Honganji Temple from the large floor-to-ceiling windows. If you like Japanese breakfast, it is recommended to make it the first stop of the trip. Address: Japan〒104-0045 Tokyo, Chuo City, Tsukiji, 3 Chome−15−1 Honganji Temple Hall Painting in the building

Excellent stamina! Garlic specialty store that is sure to become addictive □Garlic x Garlic Kitchen 📍Suitengu, Tokyo About a 3-minute walk from Suitengu Station on the Tokyo Metro. We came to a garlic specialty store that uses garlic from appetizers to desserts. Super Peperoncino Carbonara with garlic egg yolk sauce Garlic toast Apple juice They use sweet garlic from Takko Town, Aomori Prefecture, and it was certainly sweeter and more fluffy than regular garlic. Their specialty garlic toast is topped with garlic and is addictively delicious. The Super Peperoncino also contains about five times the usual amount of garlic, making it excellent for stamina. The amount of garlic in the carbonara was modest compared to other menu items. I also ordered apple juice, which is said to have a deodorizing effect on garlic dishes, and it was rich and delicious. Eat garlic dishes and feel energized from the inside out! #0yentravel #Suitengu #lunch 📍Address: 1-12-11 Nihonbashi Ningyocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 103-0013
