A Collection of Must-Try Restaurants in Tokyo 🍰 HARBS – Large fresh cakes that melt in your mouth If you’re a dessert lover, you can’t miss HARBS! Their cakes are huge, not just big but truly delicious. We tried the Mixed Fruit Mille Crêpe cake – thin crepe layers alternating with soft whipped cream, packed with fresh fruit in every bite. Sweet and smooth, not greasy at all. 📍 Multiple branches across Tokyo – but we went to the Lumine EST Shibuya branch, very convenient to get to 📷 The cakes look super elegant and luxurious in photos, and the atmosphere is clean and perfect for chilling out for a long time --- 🥘 Izobachi – Izakaya-style sukiyaki with a cool twist This place feels like stepping back into a retro era, with a warm traditional Japanese vibe. The highlight is the personal sukiyaki served in a small pot with beautifully marbled wagyu beef. The broth is perfectly sweet and salty, and eating it with hot steamed rice is pure bliss. 🪑 Great atmosphere, like sitting in an old Japanese house 📌 Located in Shimokitazawa, a hip neighborhood popular with locals for strolling --- 🍝 Spaghetti Stand CARBO – Carbonara lovers will say wow A small café serving focused pasta dishes, especially Japanese-style carbonara. It’s rich but not greasy, with thick bacon and an onsen egg in the center. The noodles are cooked just right, available in slightly spicy or classic versions. 🌟 The menu isn’t big, but every dish is made with care 🎌 Cool street-style Japanese vibe, with a small bar seating where you can watch the chef cook --- Summary HARBS: Great cakes, large slices, fragrant whipped cream, refreshing Izobachi: Authentic Japanese feel, delicious home-style warmth Spaghetti Stand CARBO: Pasta lovers must come, great noodles, flavorful taste
