Tea, coffee & cocktails
Onibus Coffee Nakameguro
@julia
There's no shortage of incredible coffee in Tokyo, but Onibus is something special. It's a charming café is a must-visit spot when shopping around Nakameguro and Daikanyama. There's minimal indoor seating, so be mindful in rainy weather.

HIGASHIYA GINZA
@julia
This 2nd floor shop and café can't be missed (note that street signage is minimal). You can stop in for high tea (reservation recommended) or for takeaway wagashi and snacks. Sister business to Yakumo Saryo..

Restaurants & cafés
Yakumo Saryō
@julia
Reservation required for a Japanese breakfast and tea service. Yakumo Saryo offers an only-in-Japan dining experience, though it is a bit off the beaten path in a residential neighborhood. Don't forget to visit the bathroom to have a moment to appreciate how the hand towels are arranged.

Nezu Kamachiku
@julia
Like many good places, a bit of a journey is required. Nestled in Yanaka (a charming neighborhood to explore), this udon restaurant is at the top of its craft. Line up among the locals a few minutes before lunch to get a table during the first seating.

Harajuku Gyoza Lou
@julia
Because of its central location, no need for reservations, and its insane gyoza, this is a place I usually visit multiple times within a trip. The gyoza are a must, but don't sleep on the side dishes.
