Japan

Tokyo

A city of contrasts—where neon-lit streets pulse with energy and quiet shrines offer a moment of stillness. Sip matcha in a hidden chaya, uncover tucked-away ramen joints with cult followings, and browse curated vintage in back-alley boutiques. Tokyo unfolds for those who embrace the unexpected—wander, explore, and let the city surprise you.

    In the land of omakase, this spot flips the script with a six-slice pizza omakase—each slice a bold new flavor journey. Not your usual pizzeria, but an exploration of the unexpected. Reservations vanish fast!

    Tofu is the star here, and with good reason. Try their specialty Boiled Oboro Tofu- it's made right in front of you, and their assorted pickles.

    The sushi is incredibly fresh, and the gourmet small plates are exceptional. Try the eggplant with smoked miso cheese.

    Choose the standing area at the entrance to see Tama make his magic: a mix of traditional Okinawan plates and Taiwanese. Ask for omakase to enjoy the always changing menu. Choose a wine bottle directly form the shelves (like the super rare Xander Soren wines) or try Awamori.

    Zaiyu Hasegawa's "modern kaiseki" cuisine - a bold mix of Japanese ingredients and creativity - is a must, if you are lucky enough to get a table. Don't miss the iconic Dentucky Fried Chicken.

    Hidden in a nondescript office building, this is tempura heaven. No frills, just pure craftsmanship. Watch the artisans at work. Go for lunch—same experience, much cheaper price!

    Go with an omakase menu- you can choose by various price ranges. Chef really knows how to best use seasonal ingredients, sometimes even with ingredients you would NEVER expect. (Mine was Carp!)

    I was a Vegetarian for 10 years and this place turned me Pescatarian! The attention to detail and care in every step of the Omakase preparation by Chef Yamaguchi is like watching breathtaking cinema. Reserve early to book the counter experience.
