[Tokyo] Apart of ramen and sushi, matcha is another symbolic food that is iconic to Japan. Suzukien Asakusa is the birth-child of 2 brands: Suzukien (a tea shop that was opened in 1853 in Tokyo) and Nanaya, a matcha sweets factory that serves the World’s strongest matcha gelato from the Shizuoka Prefecture. Through this collaboration, their first outlet opened in 2016 just 200m away from Tokyo’s oldest temple, Senso-ji in Asakusa and subsequently expanded to a 2nd outlet along the next street 100m away. Do note that each outlet has different closing days but at least one of the two outlets w ..read more

[Tokyo] Fan of Anpan, the famed Japanese red bean bun? Then you must put this somewhere in your travel itinerary. Established in 1869, Ginza Kimuraya is a bakery and café serving French-inspired dishes, also regarded as the oldest and first Western style bakery in Japan. Legend has it that this is the birthplace of Anpan, the bun (looking like a mini bagel) filled with azuki red bean paste. The original sakadane anpan recipe uses sake yeast instead of traditional yeast, that’s why it has a unique aroma and taste. Its signature bun, the Sakura Anpan, was once requested by and presented to th ..read more

Ginza West, Tokyo – Known For Fluffiest Pancakes & Mosaic Cakes, Go For The French Toast

[Tokyo] Renowned for serving Tokyo’s most beautiful and fluffiest pancakes (more known as hotcakes in Japan), Ginza West has 3 locations: Aoyama Garden, Bay Café Yokohama, and the Ginza Parlour. However, the hotcakes are available only at Aoyama Garden and Bay Café Yokohama. I learnt it the ‘hard way’ as I visited the Ginza Parlour outlet, but was recommended to try the French Toast (¥1,188, SGD14.90) instead. No regrets at all. A little more about Ginza West: it began in 1947 serving 1,000 Yen course meals prepared by a chef from Yusen, a luxury cruise liner. After half year, city regulation ..read more

[Tokyo] If you need Tempura in Tokyo, heading to Ginza can be a good bet with many known restaurants, including Tempura Kondo (2 Michelin-starred), Ginza Ten’ichi, Tentoshi, Tempura Ippo, and Kuzushi Kappo Tempura.

A popular tempura joint, Ginza Tenkuni offers a variety of traditional and elegant Edo-style tempura dishes, and you can choose how they are prepared.

It is typically served with Japanese Worcestershire sauce, rice, and shredded cabbage. Katsuzen is a family-owned restaurant that specialises in just tonkatsu.

Using only the freshest ingredients, the restaurant to known for making both hot and cold Japanese Soba in a traditional style using age-old grinding techniques.
