20 Places

This is a list of places to eat in Tokyo. Some of them are a little tricky to get into, especially the first one, so you might need a fixer or hotel concierge or a very charismatic Japanese speaking friend.

Nihombashi Kakigaracho Sugita

Sushi restaurant · Chūō

Top 3 sushi in Tokyo, need a fixer to make a res, but legitimately worth it

Masakichi (まさ吉)

Yakitori Restaurant · Meguro

The most insane chicken yakitori, HIGHLY recommend, Chang said it was one of the best meals of his life

Rokurinsha (六厘舎)

Ramen Restaurant · Chiyoda

Really good tsukemen (dipping style ramen)

Udon Shin

Udon noodle restaurant · Shibuya

Great udon, they have a butter pepper udon that's like cacio e pepe

Kanemasu

Stand bar · Chūō

it's a worker's style izakaya but really dope

ONIKU KARYU

Kaiseki restaurant · Chūō

great beef dinner (it's just like beef 8 different ways)

Kitsuneya

Gyudon restaurant · Chūō

Order the beef gyudon with extra negi, pls do not forget the extra negi
