My favorite place to walk around Tokyo is Omotesando!

The ever famous Tsukiji Market

Maisen 4-8-5 Jingumae, Shibuya 150-0001, Tokyo Prefecture [phone]

The most popular tonkatsu place in Japan that is now in the Philippines. To me it all tastes the same so yes if you love tonkatsu you can go check out maisen.

Nakaya 5 104 0045, 5 Chome-2-1 Tsukiji, Chuo, Tokyo 104-0045, Japan

One of the restaurants in Tsukiji market that seemed ok. There was a line too but not as long as the others. You can only order 1 bowl per person since there is limited space. You will order before you enter then when you enter, your order is ready.

Read about this in travel and leisure and it said to order the bear looking bread so I did. Their breads were good actually!

Ranjatai 2-12-3 Kandajinbocho, Chiyoda 101-0051, Tokyo Prefecture [phone]

One star michelin restaurant that only serves yakitori. Everything he cooks is through the grill and serves each part of the chicken from chest all the way to the butt. The last dish is also my favorite, the oyakudon! Best to order sake too!

Shibuya Crossing

The most busy crossing in the world!

Just order steam or fried gyoza with rice. That's basically what they serve!

Harajuku, Tokyo

Nice to just walk around the area, its walking distance if your coming from Omotesando.

Ant N' Bee Pub 5 Chome-1-5 Roppongi, Minato, Tokyo, Japan [phone]

Saw this place in Travel and Leisure magazine so decided to try it out since it was walking distance from Fukuzushi where we had dinner. Its in the basement of a building so you just need to look for the sign outside before you see the elevator otherwise you will miss it.

Their craft beer was good, I just asked what wasn't so heavy so they will give you also what is available for the day. They actually have food too but we only went for drinks.

Fukuzushi 5-7-8 Ropponggi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan 106-0032 [phone] Hours: 11:30 am – 1:30 pm, 5:30 – 10:00 pm www.roppongifukuzushi.com/e_fukuzushi/e_fukuzushi.html

This is one of the best sushi places I’ve been to in quite a while. Its an institution in that area. They were voted best restaurants in Tokyo and also its been there for more than 50 years already. I think the chef today is the son of the original owner and has now become a family business. 

Make sure to order what they have fresh from the market for the sushi For the food, make sure you order the fish stew, it was really so good that I want to go back.

We went to Imperial palace past 5pm already so it was already closed and only saw the outside. Make sure you only go between 9-5pm.

Torigin Ginza, Chuo-ku 5-5-7 New Ginza Building 6 Building B1 Tokyo, Japan [phone] www.torigin-ginza.co.jp

Very good yakitori restaurant but what I liked about it was their kamameshi rice which they cook only after you make the order. We tried the chicken kamameshi rice and it was good for 2 persons so make sure you share what you order.

Carbone 9th Floor, 33 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong [phone] carbone.com.hk

One of the best italian restaurants I've tried in Asia. Everything we ordered was good but my favorites were the rigatoni vodka, wagyu carpaccio, and the garlic bread was just amazing. For dessert make sure to order the banana flambee, it was served with banana bread, banana crumble and vanilla ice cream. I can't wait to go back for that!
