    Tokyo Taitou-ku Kaminarimon 2-18-11
    A traditional Japanese confection shop located kitty-corner from the Kaminarimon gate in Asakusa. This long-standing shop boasts 90 years of history at its current location. Featured in all manner of media, Kameju is famous for the unending lines which form at its door each day. Particularly popular are the shop’s dorayaki – soft and moist sweet red bean paste made with adzuki beans from Tokachi sandwiched between two fluffy, pancake-like dough saucers. Larger than the average dorayaki, the shop offers a white and a black bean paste variety. Popular as souvenirs and gifts, they often sell out.

    外国から旅行で来ていた友人にお土産に日本のお菓子を買いたいと言われたので行きました。甘いかりんとうから甘くないお豆等幅広くあり、良かったです。パッケージも日本的なものが多く、お店の人によると、ブックカバーになるとの事でとても喜んでいました。ただ、試食が少なかったので、もう少しあるとわかりやすくて買いやすいと思いました。

    Tokyo Taitou-ku Kaminarimon 2-1-5 Nakamura Building
    This cafe has a large riverside window that gives guests a sweeping view of the meandering Sumida River, a bridge, and the Tokyo Skytree. They also have open terrace seating. After dark, guests enjoy the Skytree lit-up in the nightscape. The menu mainly consists of Western food such as toast, pasta, and sandwiches. The basement cake shop sells handmade cakes that are available for takeout.

    Avoid at all costs. Expensive, cheap food, badly prepared. The location does not begin to compensate. Nearly any other place in the area has to be better. I can’t write any more. Just...

    Tokyo Taitou-ku Asakusa 2-4-2
    This cafe on Asakusa's Rokku-dori Street has a striking appearance, with a red tent and glass. With a comfortable space like a cafe in Paris, you can go there from seven in the morning. It has an offering covering from morning to teatime, with a morning menu including croque monsieur and salads, a lunch menu with hayashi (Japanese-style beef stew) rice and galettes, and dessert menu with matcha ice cream and pancakes topped with chunky red bean paste. It also has a wine menu and a wide variety of barrel hard ciders which can be enjoyed together with snacks such as assorted cheese, olives and pickles.

    What a disappointment ! Had high expectation, but the only good thing here is the wine, which they do not produce. The French Garrett they serve was the worst I ever had. It came with a huge salad...

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
