Japan: Food Crawl and Coffee Shots in Tokyo

Eat well!

Tayori Yanaka

Website: http://tayori-osozai.jp/
Personal Preference: 9 out of 10

I like their location, because it's not easy to find.  You first get a chance to enjoy the market and street food along Yanaka Ginza shopping district.  Then, you have to find your way on a narrow alley leading to a quiet mini garden area heading to Tayori.

I had their breakfast set with toasted bread, egg, salad and tea.

The place is just small and visited mostly by locals and families, so mind to take a space enough for you.

Tip: You'll find it special when the restaurant has its limited open hours, because they are after the quality of the service.

If you are looking for a quiet dining experience which makes you closer to local ambiance and nature, ensure to visit this place.

Food: soup stock
Personal Preference: 8 out of 10

This place offers modern twist of soup selection that you can choose from.  The set meal depends on what you want to add like a choice between rice or type of bread or with drinks. 

This one is Brown Stew with Cheese and Vegetables (milk wheat flour, beef, soybeans, chicken).

Onibus Coffee

Personal Preference: 8 out of 10

The place is small, quiet and you just get to enjoy the noise of the train passing by.

The difference between Nakameguro and Yakumo, is that in Nakameguro you get see the trains passing by while you sip your choice of coffee.
