Best places: Japanese regional restaurants in Toshima, Japan

👍👍 We had a fantastic dinner. We found the place via Atlas Obscura, purportedly the only Hokkaido restaurant in Tokyo. The space is part shop, part restaurant. Four or five tables in an incredibly cozy space. You immediately feel as a member of the family that runs the place. Try the fried burdock...

Artful izakaya restaurant specializing in straw-roasted cuisine & featuring a dramatic open kitchen.

👍👍 I went there for lunch. I was very satisfied with the exquisite dishes that fused Western and Japanese and the best service. In addition to the main dishes, freshly baked dorayaki with black soybeans from Tanba and ice cream with the highest quality honey are available for dessert. It is a famous r...

👍👍 I'm really happy to find such a halal restaurant in Ginza Tokyo. I would like to thank "HAKATAYA DAIKICHI" for providing halal food to Muslims here. Their behavior, provision of halal food, cleanliness and comfortable environment surprised me. Various types of halal juice and halal soft drinks are...

👍👍 The amount of lunch is so great that even boys can get full. It is possible to make it less (with discount) All-you-can-eat Imoni for a limited time was very delicious.

Buzzing, trendy izakaya specializing in Okinawan & Chinese dishes, plus a creative wine list.

😠 I’ve step in at 21:00 and been told by host that is no place available for one person and anyway, it’s by reservation only. Same time the place was 80% empty. The host started to play herself that she doesn’t understand English. Very rude, unprofessional and unwelcome. I walked around one hour later...

Casual, wood-lined restaurant offering small plate meals cooked over flaming straw, plus local sake.

Upbeat seafood BBQ joint & pub specializing in Tosa-style skipjack tuna grilled over a straw fire.

👍👍 Tucked away from the busy streets of AkasakaMitsuke, it’s a total gem as you walk across the entrance - ducking as you do so transports you into a beautiful and peaceful Japanese garden area. The food is arranged beautifully and I love the fresh eggs they offer you for TKGs.

🫤 First the good: Good vibe and friendly staff. The baseball theme was pretty interesting. It does have English menu and happens to have one English speaking waitress. Now, the bad: You can't survive on vibe alone. The food was disappointing...bland. Pretty low on the value-for-money scale. I...

👍👍 Whatever you eat, it's exquisite. The menu items I particularly like are the grilled soki bowl and soki soba. The soki has a perfect melting consistency and is more delicious than anywhere else. The deep fried jima mee tofu has a gentle taste and is a must-try dish. This is the only shop in Tokyo wh...

😠 Searched here from google Timeout? Don't waste your time here. The restaurant is packed, so they actually look down at customers believing they can have customers always anyways. The clerks will fight you if you dont speak faster, and they will laugh about your non-fluent accent. Total waste of...

👍👍 Delicious Japanese miso Tonkatsu restaurant. It is difficult to find this shop in Tokyo station, but once you find it, you will be happy :). Their miso Tonkatsu are very delicious, large in size and weight. It will get you very full!

👍👍 This is my most favourite of all time for Gyu/Beef Tongue. Every time we visit Japan, my wife and I have to visit Rikyu several times. The tongue is so tender and tasty. I had sampled most of the dishes they offered through out the years, and my favourite is still the basic shio gyutan. However, for...

👍 It's nice to have a night view and a bit of a luxurious atmosphere, but I prefer the straw-yaki restaurants in Shinjuku because they have a more fragrant flavor. If you think of it as the type to eat with ponzu sauce instead of salt, it might be delicious. I had a shabu-shabu kaiseki meal. The meat...

😠 Food is good, but they overcharge tourists. Place is nice. Food was really good. We were happy with everything until we got our bill and it was 1,500 more than we ordered. Check was in Japanese but none of the items matched the prices and it was more items on the check too. We don't speak Japanese a...
