At Tokyo Saryo you are lured in by the sleek minimalist interior, but you definitely stay for the unique tea experience. You can choose and compare varieties of Sencha green tea, where the tea masters prepare your brew in a beautiful pour over style.

One of Tokyo's hottest new restaurants that initially comes across as European, but is suffused with Japanese flair. Think fermented Scandinavian food and drink pairings that are truly exceptional.

Need a little pick me up? We adore this sweet espresso stand close to Nakameguro station, as they make use of one of Tokyo's top specialty coffee roasters, but mostly because of the greenery incorporated into its aesthetic.

Warito in Ikejiri ohashi is a deeply local, tiny tsukemen spot, known for its thick noodles and intensely rich dipping broth, akin to gravy and packed with umami. The setting is simple and slightly worn, but that’s part of its appeal. You’ll need to order using a ticket machine, and come prepared knowing that it’s cash only and the staff speaks limited English (this is where Google translate will come in handy). Portions are generous, and if you’re lost, watch how the locals eat – slurping is encouraged!
