Odaiba

There are several Japanese restaurants on this trendy island in the bay...
This restaurant offers really good sushis so go there...
Hina Sushi
1-3-5 Daiba, Minato-ku

Tsukiji

You have to do this!!! this is an incredible market fish but there is one difficulty: you have to go there at 5am or 6am. So maybe it's better to not sleep..
You can eat really fresh fish, sashimi taht you make by yourself just scratching the big tuna....

on the street...

an other way to discover japanese food it's also to enjoy it on the street. In fact you have many 'festival' where you can see a lot of shops on the street, cooking some delicious (or not...) traditional food.
I was on Ebisu and i don'y know why event it was but i really appreciate environment with these color on the street (particularly red...) and those little shops.
If you don't find them you can also go in asakusa on sunday, it's quiet the same thing...

Kyushu Jangara Ramen

Ramen? it means noodles, very big noodles... i don't like this kind of food but is typically japanese. So this one, i think, is quiet good...

1-13-21 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku

GONPACHI

It's dominating the Nishi Azabu crossing. This restaurant inspired the film Kill Bill. We was sit at rustic wooden table, and we eat some yakitori, salads and sashimis... but for the dessert, just on advice : take this fabulous chocolate cake!!

1-13-11 Nishi-Azabu, Minato-ku

Okonomiyaki

You can go in Shimo kitazawa, it's very easy, it's a short train ride from both Shibuya and Shinjuku. It's just a little less trashy than Shibuya.. and you can enjoy walking on this new area, which is packed with cool shops, cafes and bars.
I went there on sunday and i tried some thing new : okonomiyaki!!
Originally from western japan is very cheap and robust. It's a cross between a pancake and an omelette, stuffed with meat ( here it was pork...), beansprouts, chopped cabbage and other goodies (like shrimp, octopus, rice cake, garlic...)
Very nice place... but i recommend you to take only one okonomiyaki for two people because it's really bounteous!!

OTAFUKU
2-28-7, Kitazawa
Setagaya-ku, Tokyo
it's closed on tuesday!

Thai & Asian lounge

In omotesando, i went in this restaurant with a famous japanese artist... the place is really awesome and food is soooo good! but you have to appreciate spicy food. it's so delicious!!
you can take nems, chicken, curry with rice and a lot of things, just try and enjoy your dinner...

CAY at Spiral, omotesando, minami-aoyama

Shabu Shabu

Just near to the Shibuya station, on a little street you can find MOMO PARADISE !!! It`s very nice restaurant of shabu shabu where you can eat all you want during 90 minutes for only 1800 yens!!
So what is a Shabu Shabu??? it`s a little bit difficult to explain but you have to try... finally it`s just some meat, pork or beef with some vegetables, that you have to cook by yourself on a kind of `miso` soup....
It`s delicious and typically japanese!!!

Again... oooo french food!!!!

Ok I promess i gonna try another type of food... but french food is so goooood! it's a little french restaurant (i past by it every day to go to the university...) where you can eat the famous "bavette a l'echalotte" with french fries, red wine, cheese and evrything!!! it's very cheap and very french. Waiters are dressed like french waiters on the french brasserie, and when you come everybody says you "bonjour". No really that's very nice. And I think it's a famous place because it was really crowded and I met one of my profesor!!

PETIT TONNEAU
1-10-2 Kudan-kita
Chiyoda-ku

closed on sunday!

home sweet home

I know I am not in Tokyo for a very long time, but if you dream of european food just go on the street and you will find what you want. I tried the French Kitchen Brasserie Bar on the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills. I was a little bit late so the kitchen was almost closed so I just eat some snack... very good! but i see the menu and there is everything for a reasonable price.
This restaurant is very pretty with its open kitchen and the big big bar, where you can eat.... or drink....

Tokyo?? You can get everything you want... Concerning restaurants, it's possible to spend a month in Tokyo and sample a different speciality restaurant every day, moreover this city is leaded with great international restaurants (but japanese food tends to be cheaper than international food);
The better thing is you rarely have to look far for one...
Let me present you which kind of food you can expected here.
