About food in Japan

Newest relaxing Denmark cafe in Kyobashi, Tokyo

An interesting dining area was recently opened in Kyobashi (京橋), Tokyo. The area name may not be so familar for many international travellers. Kyobashi is an office district between Ginza and Nihonbashi. It's 5 minutes walk both from Ginza and Tokyo station. Recently a new high-rise building was opened along with commercial complex "Tokyo Square Garden" accommodating various attractive food & beverage facilities. Here we would like to introduce one of them. For others, definitely we will have another chance to cover them near future.

Denmark The Royal Cafe Terrace is located on B1 (basement 1st) floor of Tokyo Square Garden, which is directly connected to/from Exit No.3 of Kyobashi subway station on Ginza line.

Furniture and wall are decorated in various colours.

Even from outside, it looks to be a fun and cosy place. 

 

 

Physically it is on the basement floor but the cafe is located in front of a large courtyard where sunlight directly comes in. When the weather is fine, seats on the outside terrace must be the best place!

 

 

When I ordered "Royal milk tea", it was provided with cute latte art!

 

 

For lunch, Denmark style open sandwich is also available and on weekday it opens for breakfast from morning.

 

Cafe name: Denmark The Royal Cafe Terrace

Address: B1 floor, Tokyo Square Garden 3-1-1 Kyobashi,

Cha-han Ou(チャーハン王, King of fried rice), Shimbashi (新橋), Tokyo

Fried rice is called "Cha-han"(チャーハン) in Japanese. Obviosly it is one of the most popular Chinese food in Japan and Japanese people are quite familar with the rice plate.

We found the best place to have Cha-han(fried rice) in Japan. The restaurant name shows the fact. 

 

Cha-han Ou (チャーハン王) represents "King of fried rice." 

 

The casual small restaurant is located on the basement floor of New Shimbashi Building which is in front of JR Shimbashi station next to SL Plaza.

A day during a weekend, many restaurants and shops on the floor were close because Shimbashi is a town for Japanese businessmen who work only on weekdays in the area. Even though the sign is only in Japanese, it won't be difficult to find the restaurant.

  
 

 

The restaurant is almost full around lunch time and offers only Cha-han. 

Several people could wait in front of the restaurant for the best cha-han.

Cha-han Ou make the best effort to provide the best Cha-han in various aspects to cook the plate. For example, high quality Japanese beef is used for seasoning and taking for 3days to prepare 10 kinds of vegetable ingredients in order to make the most use of the natural taste etc.

Of course the rice is not too sticky and it is exactly like the one we can find at luxury Chinese restaurant.

 

 

Cha-han is served with a cup of chicken stock soup which is also cooked with high quality chicken as well as 3 kinds of selected salt, taking for 2days.

 

On the menu, we found suggestions to enjoy the cha-han and soup the most.

1. Have a ship of the soup

2. Have cha-han

3. Have cha-han and soup together 

    *To keep this way for a half is recommendable.

 

4. Add  a spoon of speial sauce (vinaigrette soy sauce on the table)

    * Be careful not to add too much!

    * For those who like hot food, Ra-yu(Chinese chili oil) can be added as well.

5. Have cha-han mixed with the sauce

Finish!

Hope you are satisfied with a place by the kind of Fried rice.

Eventhough it is out of authentic Japanese food, the plate is worth trying once in Tokyo.

 

Chahan Ou opens from lunch time to early dinner time for weekdays and only on lunch time for weekend.

Fully enjoy Hokusai & his works of Mt. Fuji at Marunouchi, Tokyo

Surely you know the name of the most famous Ukiyoe woodprint artist, Katsushika Hokusai (葛飾北斎). During this summer, at Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum(三菱一号館美術館) in Tokyo, one of the biggest Ukiyoe art exhibition "Floating World" has been taken place. Especially until 11th August 2013, under the theme "Tourism" over 180 Ukiyoe and other art works are presented. Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige (歌川広重) are the two major artists for the collection, of course. One of the greatest Ukiyoe art collector, Mr. Saito has contributed to the exhibition with almost all of these works brought from his private collection and his private museum in Kawasaki.

One of the largest features of the second period is the seriese of "36 views of Mt. Fuji"(冨嶽三十六景) by Katsushika Hokusai as well as "53 stations of Tokaido"(東海道五十三次) by Utagawa Hiroshige. With these great collections, we could find wonderful scenes of Mt. Fuji which will be registered as UNESCO World Culture Heritage soon.

If you are interested in Ukiyoe art and have a plan to visit Tokyo this summer, don't miss the chance!! After the second period of the Ukiyone exhibition "Tourism", it will be followed by the third period with the theme "From Edo to Tokyo" taken palce between 13 August to 8 September 2013.

Celebrating the great exhibition, Cafe 1894 attached to the museum offers interesting drink called "Mt. Fuji Float".

This is it!! Mt. Fuji Float

Inspired from the work "Red Fuji" by Hokusai

It has 3 layers of jelly and

we can enjoy the drink by adding "ramune"(ラムネ) soda

with the Red Fuji label into the glass.

 

In addition, the cafe provides special lunch menu

for the Ukiyoe exhibition as following.

 

Starter - 5 assorted starters 

with some vegetables harvested in Edo or Tokyo.

The cup for cold corn soup is also "made in Tokyo"

with Edo-kiriko (江戸切子) glass cutting technique.

It makes us feeling cool from eyes in hot summer.

 

Duck on rice, as main dish

Another choice of main dish is "conger eel" (穴子, anago).

 

You might notice unique decoration of the cafe called "Cafe 1894". The building exterior and cafe interior are modeled from the former building which had been the place in Meiji era since year 1894. Especially the cafe decoration is replication from the bank office in that era.

We guess at the place we have the lunch..., can you imagine?! 100 years ago, wads of money must have been piled up there!! How fantastic it is if we could imagine that!!

Tetoshio(テトシオ), Japanese dishes in a modern cafe, Shinjuku (新宿)

In this modern days, even in Tokyo, actually it is not easy to find a cozy and modern cafe "providing Japanese dishes". As same with many other parts of the world maybe, main guests of modern cafes or girls are likely to prefer fancy Western plates like pasta, sandwiches or French-like food rather than traditional local plates. Tetoshio knows that is not always the case.

Tetoshio is located on the 6th floor of LUMINE 1 Shinjuku, a shopping complex adjacent to JR Shinjuku station. On the upper floors of the popular shopping complex, attractive restaurants such as Spanish, Thai etc. or cafe are gathered in a place. Tetoshio is one of such restaurants. 

During lunch time, like other units on the floor, it is likely to be full and visitors are asked to wait for a while. It will be better to arrive earlier than noon or after 13h30 in order to save your time.

Inside it is a bit less lighted with dark colored fabric and funiture but it is cozy with large size sofa seats or cushion chairs. The space is suitable even for a family with young kids.

How often can we be sereved a cup of Japanese green tea?

      

 

 

Lunch set is a good opportunity to taste real Japanese food at a reasonable price. 

 

 

 

My choice - Lunch set with two rice balls.

 

 

With three side dishes of vegetables and soup.

It's healty meal presented in cute style, not only tasty.

As alternative choices for lunch, Tetoshio special 3-story lunch box (bento), fish plate, donburi (rice with main topping in a bowl), udon noodle etc are available.

For dinner, Tetoshio provides small dishes like Izakaya for a-la-carte or a few Japanese cuisine courses with cooked rice.

It will be a good choice when you would like to try real Japanese food but not feel like being deeply in entire Japanese world. Also it will be a safe and comfortable option to have Japanese dishes at reasonable cost in the busiest Shinjuku area. 

 

Restaurant name: Tetoshio

 Address: 6th floor LUMINE 1, 1-1-5 Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo

Azabu Sabo(麻布茶房), assured Japanese sweets cafe

At the end of our featuring Japanese sweets cafe, we would like to propose a tea salon chain having several units in central Tokyo.

Azabu Sabo (麻布茶房) offers various choices of Japanese traditional sweets in their modern but elegantly decorated room at tens of locations across Japan. Many of the chain units are spacious as tea salon where Japanese traditional sweets are mainly provided. Tables are also large enough even for their lunch set menu.

 

Some units have chandelier like the one at Osaki Gate City

also with some Japanese traditional arts such as caligraphy, porcelin.

    

 

A showcase with food sample and menu with plenty of food photos

will also make you feel more comfortable to choose what you want.

 

 

Azabu Sabo offers amazingly wide choice and variation. All are with Japanese traditional ingredients such as matcha (抹茶, green tea), shiratama (白玉, white dumpling), an (餡, sweet beans paste), and tokoroten (ところてん, seaweed jelly) and further more with different types of combination. They always make us be in a trouble to select just one or two if you would, because of the attractive options. 

 

For example,

warabi-mochi (わらびもち, soft cake made from a kind of potato) plate,

simply put kinako (きな粉, soybean flour) around it.

Syrup will be added on top of cake later.

   

 

As arranged version with warabi-mochi,

warabi-mochi anmitsu (わらびもちあんみつ), or potato soft cake

topped on sweet beans paste, kanten jelly and some fruits.

  
So many kinds of Japanese traditional flavour!

 

Azabu Sabo has its units in major area of Tokyo such as Hibiya (日比谷, between Shimbashi and Ginza), Shinagawa (品川), Shibuya (渋谷). The tea salon also provides intersting lunch menu such as ju (重, in square lunch box) of pork teriyaki topped on rice and udon noodle with chicken etc.

We hope you can find one of Azabu Sabo units near your accommodation or on the way to your activities.

Kammi Okame(甘味おかめ), Old folk house in the latest commercial complex

Kammi Okame (甘味おかめ) is a cozy cafe close to JR Yurakucho station which will be a gateway to Ginza, Imperial Palace or Tokyo International Forum. The cafe has run its business over 60 years in the area. The unit is decorated by Japanese traditional folk arts, where many of local feel as if he/she stays in grandmum's house.

 

If we read a page of the menu book, Okame introduces its charming folk decorations and fixture.

 

It says ...

The interior consists of main beams brought from a house built over 200 years ago in Tochigi prefecture. And with other selected materials, the construction work is in a tradional way to build a folk house.

Funiture here are all handmade with signature of each craftman worked and based in Matsumoto, Nagano prefecture.

Cutting paper arts decorated on the wall are works by Mr. Serizawa, a Libing National Tresure. Table wares, spoons and glass bowls are also carefylly selected items. 

 

  

It means Kammi Okame created the space, gathering the higest technique of Japanese traditional craftworks across Japan. It will be great that we are able to be in the world as long as we spend less than Yen1000 for a sweet plate or drink.

 

Of course sweet plates offered by Kammi Okame are also very attractive. They are in traditional style and perfectly matched with its charming interior decoration.

It provides several variations of Anmitsu and other "parfait" style dessert plates. Among them,

what we chose is "Soft Fuji" (ソフト富士)

Soft cream of Matcha (green tea) flavor is

heaped up high like Mt. Fuji with dumpling on foot.

 

By the way, the space where we are enjoying the grand-mum-house like atmosphere is accommodated in one of the latest shopping complex, ITOCIA nowaday. The tradtional style cafe is re-stored in the completely new place but with folk style inside.

When we get out from the cafe, we have been moved back to the world of modern days in bustling location of Yurakucho and encounter hundreds of people walking around for shopping or business.

Wow, we are reminded that it is a precious moment to be at Kammi Okame for a while enjoying the traditional folk works and Japanese sweets.

Will come back again soon!

Japanese traditional sweets from Kyoto

Following our post on last month about Japanese tea salon, Toraya Akasaka, we will feature other cafe or spots where you can enjoy Japanese traditional style sweets. 

Today we start the series from two cafes by established tea house brands from Kyoto.

Saryo Tsujiri (茶寮都路里) was launched in 1978 by Gion Tsujiri (祇園辻利) an established green tea producer with 150years history which aimed to introduce traditional ways to brew and enjoy Japanese tea to young generations. Even at the unit in Shiodome, newly developped area of central Tokyo close to Shimbashi and Ginza, Tsujiri offers elegant atmosphere like a Japanese tea room in Kyoto with selected green tea from the ancient town.

Sometimes, tens of local ladies are queuing up in front of the Kyoto style cafe in order to be pleased by parfait of matcha flavor etc. Tsujiri provides so many different versions of parfait and other sweets dishes that make us be in trouble to choose just one. 

Matcha mousse topped with, looks relatively "humble",

both ice cream and jelly in Matcha flavor, anko (beans paste) and a piece of mallon 

  

It gives us a chance to enjoy Matcha in different forms.

 

Cafe name: Tsujiri (都路里) at Caretta Shiodome

Address: B2 floor, Higashi Shimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo

Official site (in Japanese): http://www.giontsujiri.co.jp/saryo/store/tokyo_shiodome/ 

*********** UPDATE on 9th September 2013 ***********

We found Tsujiri in Caretta Shiodome featured above was closed.

As alternative, Tsujiri has another unit at Daimaru Tokyo Department in Tokyo.

Cafe name: Tsujiri Daimaru Tokyo

Address: 10th floor, Daimaru Tokyo, 1-9-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo

View Larger Map

*****************************************************************

After the Tsujiri's cosy space in Kyoto flavor, we show an alternative Japanese sweets cafe that maybe more suitable for those who do not have so much time to be relaxed for long time. 

Hayashiya is also an established green tea producer which is proud of over two-century long history. The company has cultivated green tea leaves in Uji (宇治), Kyoto from late 19th century and opened cafe units in Tokyo area from the beginning of 21st century. Hayashiya is one of the most popular Kyoto style cafe among locals. 

Well, Hayashiya Chaen(tea garden, 林屋茶園)'s unit in Shinjuku is accommodated on B2 (2nd basement) floor of a major shopping complex LUMINE 1 attached to JR Shinjuku station. It is about 5minutes walk from JR ticket gate South Exit through the busiest station inside. Just keep in mind that LUMINE has several units around JR Shinjuku station. Please try to find the right building LUMINE "1" next to Keio department store.

Hayashiya Chaen LUMINE Shinjuku1 is a tiny counter bar-style shop where we can find only several seats. First you need to order at the cash counter and take a seat. Your plates and drink will be ready soon. The menu with some photos will make you feel easier to find what you want and to order it. 

Not only the sweets plates with various version of green tea, also try the unique tea drink.

Matcha jelly, soft cream and mousse

 and Hojicha (grilled Japanese tea) with milk behind

 

It will take only 10 minutes to enjoy the sweets in Japanese traditional flavor in central Shinjuku.

Take a short break during shopping or before/after excursion to Hakone etc.

Japanese tea salon - Toraya Akasaka flagship store(虎屋赤坂本店), Tokyo

As same with meal, Japanese sweets or confectionery is also unique and based on long tradition. We have introduced Japanese sweets and places to enjoy the delicacies time by time. For example: We showed beautiful small cakes in Japanese traditional style at "Wagashi (和菓子） - Shimizu (清水） in Kagurazaka" and reported traditional sweets making experience in Kanazawa, Hokuriku region on "Japanese Sweets making experience – Kanazawa (金沢)." As recommendable Japanese tea salon or cafe, we mentioned about a modern but sophisticated "Japanese Tea Salon - Higashiya, Ginza Tokyo" and a typical traditional style cafe "Takemura (竹むら), Japanese traditional sweets cafe".

A place to have Japanese traditional sweets is called in some different ways such as "Kanmi-dokoro (甘味処, sweets place)", "Saryo (茶寮, tea house)", "Sabo (茶房, tea place)", "Wa Cafe (和カフェ, Japanese style cafe)" etc. Some are very traditional and newers are modern and look like Western style cafe from outside. That might confuse you to know what it is. Anyway the best way will be to look at menu what they provide (many have menu with photos) and to look around space and what other people have. Whatever it is called, if many people are there and look happy with the place and sweets, you will also have a good experience. In central Tokyo, in general, comfortable tea rooms are likely to be busy with ladies on afternoon even on weekday.   

Toraya Akasaka flagship store (虎屋 赤坂本店) is also one of our recommendable tea salons to feel fine Japanese atmosphere. Toraya (虎屋) is an established sweets maker born in Kyoto over five hundreds years ago. In the past we posted two articles of units under Toraya chain brand,"Toraya Cafe, Roppongi (トラヤカフェ, 六本木)" and "Breakfast at Toraya Cafe Aoyama." They are newer and modern shops by the traditional sweets house. Now we come back to the original where traditional Japanese sweets are served.

Toraya Akasaka flagship store is located along Aoyama Street. It takes about 5-minute-walk from Akasaka Mitsuke (赤坂見附) station and not far from Hotel New Otani and TBS broadcasting center. As per Toraya's official site, the sweets producer has a factory just next to Akasaka Imperial Palace, in prime location close to the flagship store. Toraya's products have been provided on the Imperial family of Japan even since Edo period, when the family was based in Kyoto.

If you leant Hiragana (Japanese letters), you might wonder the logo expressing as "やらと" (Ya Ra To) opposite of "Toraya (とらや)." It implies the house exists since Edo period when people wrote letters from left to right, not in the modern way as same with Western world right to left. Yes, Toraya has used the logo for hundreds of years.

 

Toraya boutique is on the ground floor of the flagship store and the tea salon (Toraya Saryo, 虎屋茶寮) is on the underground floor. The building and interior are modern and clean. The tea salon is peacefully calm with graceful guests and staff as if it was on a tea ceremony.

 

Toraya tea salon offers some set menu including a piece of traditional sweets such as Yokan (羊羹, beans cake) or Nama-gashi (生菓子, fresh cake), the house's major product and green tea.

 

 

 

 

This is a set of Seasonal Yokan, the most-known Toraya's product

and Matcha (powdered green tea often sereved at a tea ceremony).

 

Seasonal Yokan at that time, the end of February is

"Kobai (紅梅, red Japanese plum)"

It's a way in which we appreicate the beauty of each season, through food and sweets.

 

The bowl of Matcha is with pictures of smiley Hina Dolls (ひな人形)

which are symbols of Girls' Festival (Hina-Matsuri, ひな祭り) on 3rd March.

Obviously the bowl is used only for limited period. 

Toraya changes even bowls by season.

The hospitality comes from the spirit of tea ceremony.

 

 Toraya Saryo (虎屋茶寮) tea salon has also units at Ginza Chuo main street, Imperial Hotel Tokyo, Isetan Department in Shinjuku. We guess the flagship store in Akasaka provides the most peceful environment and sublime atomosphere among them.

 

Name: Toraya Akasaka Honten (虎屋赤坂本店), Toraya Saryo (虎屋茶寮)

Illy cafe with Ukiyoe (浮世絵), Nihombashi Tokyo

Many of you, especially those in Europe, may know Italian espresso brand "espresamente illy". The coffee brand operates several coffee shops in Tokyo and some other major cities of Japan.

As same with other units of espressamente illy, it provides authentic Italian espresso and other various coffee drinks and some Italian food like panini sandwiches and dolce(italian dessert). All the units are in modern design in red tone from the brand logo.

One thing, espressamente illy Nihombashi, Tokyo is different from other illy coffee shops is a big wall is decorated with art graphic panel of UKIYOE (浮世絵), Japanese traditional art.

 

 

While you have a cup of Italian coffee, you can also enjoy viewing the Japanese traditional art works... like this.

 

Three Ukiyoe art work graphics are successfully replicated by a Japanese major print-technology company from collections of Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, U.S.A.

 

* Under the Wave off Kanagawa, from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji

    by Katsushika Hokusai (「富獄三十六景」神奈川沖浪裏　葛飾北斎)

    by Kitagawa Utamaro (「歌撰恋之部」物思恋 喜多川歌麿)

 

All these works are major iconic works by these Ukiyoe masters in the Edo period. It is also interesting to know a scene of Nihombashi, where the cafe is located, in early 19th century or 200 years ago from the work by Ando Hiroshige.

The MONOCLE cafe, Yurakucho, Tokyo

Some of you may know an English magazine published from London, MONOCLE. In Ginza, Tokyo, we can find the first cafe in the world produced by the chef editor of MONOCLE.  

THE MONOCLE CAFE is on the underground floor of Hankyu Men's Tokyo, which is a department complex focusing on upper scale brands of male fashion. In one of the busies shopping areas of Japan, situated a few minutes walk from Yurakucho station, the cafe is a stylish and peaceful place to take a rest or to read a book, of course for all including ladies.

The cafe is thoughtfully created by the chef editor of MONOCLE magazine, payed attentions to detail in design and the concept, as exactly same with the magazine. The interior decoration is simple but warm with natural touch. Seat style varies from sofa for a small group of around 3 to 5 to desk-hight counter suit for nomad workers.

  

The lamps hung from ceiling there are same model with what is used in the MONOCLE's office in UK. Snow (not cotton!!) is decorated on top of lamp shades for Winter season.

Bookshelf and posters on the wall create the unique stylish and intellectual atmosphere.

The food on the menu list is known as favorites of the MONOCLE chef editor who has a lot of traveling experiences around the world. 

For example, MONOCLE curry (as below photo) and Pork cutlet sandwich are the chef editor's favorite Japanese menu. 

    

Coffee is also one of the exclusive selections, from OMOTESANDO KOFFEE, a small but high quality independent coffee stand by skilled baristas.

The cube shape sweet is also produced by the highly-reputated coffee shop, aiming at the best match with their coffee. It will surely give us a peaceful coffee break time. 

   

Not only above, various choices from the list of sandwich, sweets, deli-snacks and alcohol drinks are available from noon to early evening.
