*must try places* JAPAN food diaries 🍙 🍜 🍣 (8 days in tokyo)

Hi, I'm Tiffy :) Recently I fulfilled one of my dreams of taking my parents to Japan. It was my mom’s first time in Japan and seeing my parents experience all the amazing food, culture, and scenery made my heart so full. We were in Tokyo for 8 days and stayed in the Ginza area. We started off the trip by exploring Tsukiji Market and got to taste some fresh seafood, wagyu beef with uni, strawberry mochi, and more! We spent around 3 hours here just exploring and eating, and I cannot think of a better way to start the trip. The next day we visited Senso-Ji temple and Kappabashi street. For dinner we went to Kora sushi and had such a fun time trying conveyor belt sushi. On the third day of our trip we explored Ginza and had omakase for dinner. Trying omakase in Japan has always been a bucket list item of mine and this exceeded all my expectations. We went to Uraonikai located in Ginza and it was such an intimate and warm experience. This was definitely the best sushi I have ever had! The following day we went to Roppongi Hills and the views from here were breathtaking. We stumbled upon a restaurant that served unagi and it was so good we decided to come back again the last day. Gyukatsu and Ichiran Ramen are definitely two must try places when you are in Tokyo. Some might say it’s over rated, but I loved both of these restaurants and they satisfied all our cravings. When in Tokyo, you have to visit Shinjuku and Shibuya. We had so much fun shopping and experiencing Shibuya Crossing. We did so much walking during this trip, we were averaging 20,000 steps everyday! We ended the trip with one of my favourite meals, Monjayaki! It was so cool watching the chef cook up the food right in front of us, and of course the drinks were also delicious! Comment below your favourite place to visit when you are in Japan, and thank you again for making my dreams come true. I am forever grateful to be able to do what I love and be able to spend all these quality time with my family. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ RESTAURANTS MENTIONED ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ 00:46 - とんぼや TONBOYA - https://g.co/kgs/JDjMedP 01:37 - Soratsuki - https://g.co/kgs/YTw8uCn 01:49 - Wagyu Jyujyu (5500 yen = $36 USD) - https://www.tsukiji-jyujyu.com/ https://g.co/kgs/YwTFgKT 02:40 - Matcha Stand Maruni - https://g.co/kgs/dv2CpHz 02:50 - Marukita Kaisendon - https://g.co/kgs/JfomVJC 03:32 - Uogashi Shokudo Food Court - https://maps.app.goo.gl/2zqCCo8envSXATef6 03:35 - Marutama Ice Cream - https://maps.app.goo.gl/4pRWJBypm75nEtq68 03:44 - Mitsukoshi Ginza (Basement food hall and upper roof terrace) - https://maps.app.goo.gl/LVtbgwC64bz3Z8Yp6 03:49 - Foundry (Mitsukoshi Ginza) - https://maps.app.goo.gl/o5Y1hC93qqe8h57g9 05:19 - 千米屋 (Hatchobori - onigiri shop) https://g.co/kgs/9jNmZEh 07:45 - Asakusa Kagetsudō - https://maps.app.goo.gl/js4duME8v7aKdrtM8 08:14 - Matcha Sweets Kaminari Issa - https://maps.app.goo.gl/nRDMieR8s7aG9K1W9 08:23 - Kimizuka - https://maps.app.goo.gl/cqWiGd3x7XrCM9Nq7 09:42 - Asakusa Taiyaki Guraku - https://maps.app.goo.gl/5joKWJV8byFQmeXR9 10:16 - Kura Sushi Asakusa (multiple locations) - https://maps.app.goo.gl/2PoBH7noWFonCzFEA 12:19 - New TORIGIN - https://maps.app.goo.gl/vXQn4tS4bLkCi5kM6 13:16 - Uraonikai - https://maps.app.goo.gl/LyX8rDW1BhqvvdaT7 16:37 - Ueno Yabu Soba - https://maps.app.goo.gl/D49PPtzgW92Eze4R6 17:47 - Shinobazunoike Benten-do - https://maps.app.goo.gl/vpcimpXqDPhPmmjX9 18:35 - Roppongi Keyakizaka Dori - https://maps.app.goo.gl/mvrANGaCAaCBtwir6 19:02 - Naruse's Unagi Eel Restaurant Roppongi https://maps.app.goo.gl/yin94yjk8CUjc5gM6 19:52 - Gyukatsu Motomura https://maps.app.goo.gl/x388aNKtYdoWqRJo8 21:44 - Ichiran Ramen (multiple locations) - https://maps.app.goo.gl/PcxXBcFPbPeCa3wU6 ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ PREORDER MY COOKBOOK HERE!! https://geni.us/tiffycooks KAIDONG: https://kaidongfoods.com/ Links 🔗 Food Blog https://tiffycooks.com/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tiffy.cooks/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@tiffycooks Music from Epidemic Sound!
