The best specialty coffee shop in Jiyugaoka is also the earliest to open. 9am still doesn't make it a commuter stop, but that makes it all the better for lingering over your latte.
Grab a couple of onigiri for your day's adventure, and a Premium Boss latte if you require an extra jump start.
The garlic squid and BBQ pork make for a lovely meal here. The fact that they're both gluten friendly puts this place over the top in Jiyugaoka.
The prepared food options at Japanese supermarkets are generally excellent, and are really the only healthy way to consistently eat on the cheap during an extended stay in Tokyo. Here's no exception.
Best gluten-free menu in Andersonville and, alongside Big Jones, the sit-down spot with the tastiest options.
Grab a couple of margaritas before your flight and float away to your destination.
Beautiful cappuccino with a darker-roasted espresso than you find in many Tokyo coffee shops.
The pork bun here makes for a wonderful, satisfying lunch near Harajuku. It's well worth the walk, especially if you're going gluten-free.
You're short changing yourself if you order anything less than two rounds of yellowtail fish collars. The sake menu is also worth the splurge.
Craig manages this place like a champ. By far the best Panera I've been to, on the North Shore or anywhere else.
Good brisket. Sides were meh. Will try ordering a side of extra brisket next time.
It doesn't much matter that the chirashi here is basically a bowl of assorted odd sushi bits over rice. They're Morimoto's assorted odd sushi bits and they're mighty delicious.
Gluten-free carrot cake. So enormous and filling there's no shame in bringing some home with you. Loved the chicken avocado melt too.
