Nobori Tei @ Ginza

This place came highly recommended by mycookinghut, eating there twice on her visit to Tokyo.

Address: 8-3-4 Ginza, Chuo, Tokyo.

Unagi Kabayaki.
I'm not really a rice person but the quality of riced used was so good that I enjoyed eating the rice more than the unagi. The ungai which we usually get here is usually coated with a heavy sweet sauce, this one is much lighter so you get to taste the natural flavour of the unagi.

With a simple menu with pictures, you can easily make your selection. This place seems to be pretty popular with the locals too.

You can refer to the map below to get your bearings, the shop is located in an alley behind the Gucci store in Ginza.

Yonemoto Coffee @ Tsukiji

If you are around the area, another must-do is to have coffee at this place. Having to get up so early in the morning, I gladly accepted a hot cuppa.

The cafe was small but the coffee was good. Only thing I didn't like was customers being allowed to smoke, that's indoors too! :(

Their breakfast menu comprising of toast and soft boiled eggs seems to be pretty popular with the locals.

This organic coffee was a real kick-ass!
