Tsukiji Outer Market

Unfortunately, the ”real” fish market is not open for the public anymore, but the outside’s really cool aswell. Lots of streetfood to try!

FamilyMart

Family Mart is everywhere, sell everything and open every hour. Hungover? Onigiri and Pocari Sweat. Not done for the evening? A Sapporo and a can of sake. Breakfast? Tamago Sando and coffee. You get it.

Naraya Ryokan

Super cozy ryokan with warm bath in Nozawaonsen, a beautiful skiing village. Food is great aswell. Remember, in Japan women and men go to seperate baths and you can’t enter if you have tatoos..

Toufuya Ukai

Maybe the most beautifully located restaurant in the world? Right beneath Tokyo Tower, you’ll find this gem serving a house made, tofu based omakase. Not a fan of tofu? You will be after this.

Hitachino Brewing Lab

Hitachino’s own brew pub, where you can try a huge range of tasty beers. They have several locations, this is the one in Chiyoda.

SAKE MARKET Akihabaraten

Cool self serve sake bar, reservation only, where you also can try shochu and mix your own cocktails. There’s one in Shinjuku aswell!

（有）花信風

This entire street in Saitama is worth a visit and Kashinfu is one of the gems. Big menu, go for the grilled stuff.

Tokyu Kabukicho Tower

At Kabukichio Tower, you’ll find a food court just by the entrance, with traditional food from different japanese prefectures (don’t miss the Hokkaido one, great seafood). When full, take the elevator to the top floor for a crazy view.

Uniqlo Ginza Flagshipstore

Uniqlo in Ginza is something else. 11 floors of shopping, art and flowers. You may need an entire day, but Rengatei is just around the corner when it’s time for lunch..

Isegen（Monkfish specialty restaurant）

Great place, serving a tasting menu with all monkfish. Super tasty, cool atmospere and great sake list. You’ll be sitting at tatami mats on the floor, so get comfortable.

Remm Shin-Osaka

Cool hotel, located at the huge station in Shin-Osaka, where you’ll find plenty of great restaurants. Perfect hotel for a lay over, before continuing with the Shinkansen.

Renga-Tei

Legendary place, in business for over 125 years. Here the legendary omurice was invented, and that’s definitely a must try on the menu. Opens at 11:15, get there in time to avoid the queue. Cash only!

Sushi Jin

In quiet Toyama you’ll find this gem, worthy of a Michelin star in my humble opinion. Kimura-san who runs the place is a true master of the sushi craft.

Gonpachi Shibuya

HUGE restaurant close to legendary Shibuya Crossing. Big menu, always packed (make a reservation) and buzzing.

Yodobashi Ueno

Absolutely crazy multimedia store, with everything one count want and not want.

Kobe Shushinkan

Ever been to a sake brewery? If not, it’s about time. Interesting to learn, beautiful surroundings and of course a great restaurant.

Heiwa DOBUROKU Kabutocho saké brewery

Just around the corner from Stockholm Roast & Human Nature, you’ll find this sake bar, operated by legendary sake Brewers Heiwa from Wakayama. A lot of seriously good stuff to try.

Kappabashi Kitchen Tools Street

If it’s got something to do with cooking, eating or drinking, you’ll find it at Kappabashi. When you ser the big chef with a white hat in the street corner, you’ll know you’re right.

SUSHIRO Ueno

Kaiten sushi where you order via the iPad at your table. Once you’ve started, it’s kinda hard to stop..

Washoku En Shiodome

42 stories up you’ll find this place, always buzzing with people, sake’s flowing and food at the pass.

Yoshinoya

Restaurant chain all over Tokyo, open all day. Go for breakfast, order the anago and feel lika a local.

Don Quijote Ginza Honkan

You know when people says a store has everything? This place has EVERYTHING. Trust me.

SÉZANNE

2 Michelin stars, may be 3 soon. Chef Daniel Calvert has created somerhing truly special here, mixing European cooking and japanese produce. The wine list is also one of a kind.

Park Hotel Tokyo

Located in the Shiodome Media Tower, the view is amazing 24/7. Great staff, big Roma and with the buzzing streets of Shimbashi just a coupe (a lot) of floors down, this is where you want to stay while in Tokyo.

Stockholm Roast

Located in the same space as Human Nature, so why not start or end your wine bonanza with a great cup of coffee? *the adress above is the Stockholm location*

wineshop human nature

Small, cozy wine bar with great selection of natural wines. Perfect when/if you ger tired of sake..
