Halal foods may have been quite hard to find in Tokyo, but recently as international tourism has spiked for Japan in this past decade (not with COVID of course), many Halal shops are trying to make their name for halal-friendly customers.

food-tour-tokyo.png

What's your favorite food and where would you recommend people to get it?

The fruit sandwich from Sembikiya is, one of, if not, the best fruit sandwich in the world. The milky bread, cushioned by their sweet cream and high quality fruits is the best! It’s a bit pricy but definitely worth it. Beware, there can be long lines!

By visiting Nihonbashi, I believe you will understand the culture and history of Tokyo/Japan better. It’s a beautiful place that’s filled with hidden gems and historical sights. It amazes me that so many old stores have survived for so long there.

TOKYO GUIDE | BEST VEGAN EATS IN TOKYO

*This list is updated as of June 22nd 2021, more restaurants can be added as we discover more vegan eats. This list is subject to change.

Japanese food might be a bit difficult to find something that’s not non-vegan. With lots of its dishes including non-vegan foods and the vegan culture not being exactly a popular lifestyle in Japan (you could argue it is with Buddhists, but the majority is not), it could be hard to try and find vegan food in Japan. So, we’ve compiled a list of some of the top-rated vegan eats in Tokyo.

A great vegan source to finding your vegan treats in Japan can be found at Happy Cow.

Vegan Ramen Uzu

Uzu is located INSIDE teamlab planets making for a unique, immersive experience. Diners can eat vegan ramen while enjoying teamLabs famous digital art. Their vegan ramen dishes include shoyu, matcha, and miso ramen!

HELLO! TOKYO TOURS | OUR REVIEW OF SOBAHOUSE KONJIKI HOTOTOGISU

Tokyo is home to the most Michelin stars in the world. It’s basically a large stewing pot of some of the most delicious restaurants on the planet. Cheap or expensive, Tokyo has it all. So, I went ahead and tried a 1-starred ramen Michelin restaurant.

best-ramen-in-tokyo.jpg

On a quiet Monday afternoon, I went to check out Sobahouse Konjiki Hototogisu in Shinjuku. This is a restaurant that I had been wanting to visit for a long time and I was not disappointed.

With wait times often topping two hours, and opening hours restricted to Mondays to Fridays I hadn’t managed to find time until….. Covid!

From arriving to getting my food I waited about 40 minutes. There were 7 people in front of me in the queue. 3 outside and 4 inside.

PXL_20210531_030941506.jpg
michelin-star-restaurant-tokyo.jpg

The restaurant seats 10 people. 6 seats at the counter plus two small tables that can accommodate 2 people each.

There was a nice atmosphere with soft jazz music playing. It was very quiet in the restaurant nobody was talking everybody was focused on their food.

I ordered the ‘recommended bowl’ Shio Soba at 950 yen. Bargain for a one Michelin star meal!

Details of the ingredients in the picture.

In addition to the ingredients mentioned I also discovered chopped basil in my dish (the green in the photo) and what I think was sun-dried tomato. Pork sweet and tender. The soup had quite a strong but delicate fishy flavor. I could taste the truffle oil. It was full-flavored but not overpowering.

best-restaurants-in-tokyo.jpg

Overall I would say it was a light dish with an interesting fusion and balance of flavors.

I can definitely understand why it's received so many awards. Compared to other ramen I've eaten this was a very cleverly balanced bowl.

It was a very relaxing experience which is quite often the opposite in Japan. When going out to eat, a lot of restaurants are loud with people shouting “welcome” and “goodbye” or orders being called or customers chatting. This restaurant was practically silent! Just the gentle sound of soft jazz drifting through the aroma.

HELLO! TOKYO TOURS | FIVE SHOCKING MATCHA FLAVORED FOODS IN JAPAN

Matcha flavored sweets have taken over the world. You might have heard of matcha chocolates, matcha lattes or matcha Oreos. Might be a bit unique but not uncommon right? Well, let’s discuss five shocking matcha foods that you can find in Japan. We can’t guarantee you that you’ll find this on your next visit to Japan because lots of these items are seasonal or special items, but we can guarantee that you’ll find it very odd.

tokyo-private-tours-matcha-flavored-stuff.jpg

Matcha Cup Noodle

We didn’t think this existed either, but if its going to exist, it’s going to be in Japan. Apparently Nissin released a green tea flavored version of it back in 2017. It’s not common to find, and I as a guide in Japan have not found this before.

japanese-curry.png

Matcha Curry

After discovering the noodles, we thought we couldn’t find anything weirder than that. But curry comes next on our list. Itohkyuemon - a green tea shop in Kyoto founded in 1832 unleashed an instant green tea packet. All you need to do is heat up the vacuum sealed packet in hot water for a few minutes and it’s ready to pour over your rice!

matcha-sweets-japan.jpg

Matcha Chuhai

Tea based alcohol isn’t too uncommon in Japan. At an izakaya (Japanese drinking establishments) it’s quite common for people to order oolong-hai, oolong tea mixed with shochu alcohol. So it’s not much of a surprise to find matcha-chuhai, but for anyone outside of Japan this could be quite unique!

fruits-sandwich-japan.png

Matcha Strawberry Sandwich

A strawberry sandwich might sound a bit unique to start off with, but why not give it a matcha twist? On our Tokyo food tour, we visit a strawberry sandwich stand under Tokyo Station and our guests love it! But we’ve never seen it with a matcha twist before. Lawson came out with a matcha strawberry sandwich where the bread is engrained with matcha to give it the matcha punch to it.

Calbee-Matcha-Chocolate-Chips-2021_1024x1024.jpg

Matcha Potato Chips

The popular snack company Calbee always has interesting flavors coming out, so it’s not a surprise that we have a matcha potato chip! It’s a limited edition only so, unless it makes a comeback, you may be out of luck trying to acquire one in Japan

HELLO! TOKYO TOURS | 5 CUP NOODLE FLAVORS TO GET IN JAPAN

Cup Noodles have been a cornerstone in Japanese fast food. The ingenious design and convenience, taste and cost make it a favorite amongst people worldwide. On our private Yokohama tour, we visit the Cup Noodle Museum where you can learn about the history of how Cup Noodles were made and even create your own Cup Noodles. But, for now, let’s take a look at five different Cup Noodle flavors that you can find on your next trip to Japan.

cup-noodles-japan-tour.jpg

Cheese Curry

Contrary to Indian and Thai curry, Japanese curry is sweeter and thicker. It’s often loved by children and is also one of the most popular Japanese foods in Japan. When you add cheese to the mix - it makes for a legendary flavor of Cup Noodles. The thick curry soup compliments the the cheese and noodles for a Cup of Heaven!

Miso-cup-noodles-tokyo-tours.jpg

Miso

I’m sure a lot of have heard of miso soup before. If you thicken up the soup a little and some noodles in it, you get a delicious Miso Cup Noodles! This delicate tasting Cup of Noodle is perfect for you miso lovers.

protein-cup-noodles-in-tokyo.jpg

Protein Cup Noodles

We know that Cup Noodles might not be the healthiest thing in the world. But, the Nissin team has tried taking a “healthier” approach to it by making their “PRO” Cup Noodle series that’s packed with protein! Each Cup of Noodle has 15 grams of protein for those that want a little more out of the noodles.

tonkotsu-cup-noodle-in-tokyo.jpg

TONKOTSU (PORK)

Tonkotsu literally means pork bone. The tonkotsu ramen is a very common and popular broth due to it’s rich and refreshing taste. Now that it’s put into a Cup Noodle? Who wouldn’t like it?! It’s definitely worth trying for it’s delicious tasting broth.

hokkaido-milk-seafood-cup-noodles-tokyo-tours.jpg

HOKKAIDO MILK SEAFOOD

When it comes to food in Hokkaido (The northern most part of Japan) many Japanese people might think of two things - milk and seafood. Combine these two into a Cup Noodle and you get this unique, creamy seafood noodle! It’s oddly satisfying and is a bit similar to having a carbonara but in a Cup Noodle.

We know we teased you with different Cup Noodles to get in Japan and we’re sorry! However, we offer pandemic friendly experiences such as our Holiday by Post Program.

QUARANTINE ACTIVITIES | 5 JAPANESE MOVIES TO WATCH BEFORE COMING TO JAPAN

Ready for a movie night? To help your next trip to Japan, why not fuel your knowledge of the country by watching some movies? You can take an extensive look at our Film Guide - but we’ll list some of our favourite ones here. In no particular order here are 5 must-watch movies!

Spirited_Away_Japanese_poster.png

Spirited Away

This film is by far one of the most popular and famous films from Japan. While Spirited Away is one of the dozens of Ghibli Studios masterpieces, we went with this fantasy. Be careful, watching this might lead you down an endless rabbit hole of Ghibli Studio films. The story follows a 10-year-old girl named Chihiro who stumbles into a world of kami (deities). She soon finds herself unable to escape after her parents are turned into pigs by the ruling witch named Yubaba. With the help of Haku - a mysterious young boy - she embarks on a journey to save her parents and escape this world.

Lost-in-translation.jpg

Lost in Translation

Okay, while this film is not necessarily from Japan, it’s definitely a film worth mentioning. The film was shot in Tokyo with famous backdrops such as Shibuya and Shinjuku. It will definitely make your next trip to Japan quite interesting! This comedic-drama presents a story of love and friendship between two strangers - a middle aged actor named Bill Harris and a neglected college grad named Charlotte. They both share a few common bonds: a dissatisfying love life and a culture shock in Tokyo. Follow them around as they go explore themselves and Tokyo - it’s almost as if you explore with them.

shoplifters.jpg

SHOPLIFTERS

This Japanese drama became a critically acclaimed film thanks to it’s superb directing, writing and acting. The story follows a non-biological family that shoplifts to cope with their poverty. After a routine shoplift, Osamu - “the father” - and the son come across a little girl who’s been abandoned and take her in. As the film progresses, this “happy family” soon reveal their dark secrets.

tokyo-food-guide-jiro-dreams-of-sushi.jpg

JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI

This documentary centers around Jiro Ono, an 85 year old sushi master who owns a 10 seated, sushi only, 3 starred Michelin restaurant in a Tokyo subway station. His restaurant only takes reservations - which must be reserved months in advanced - and costs a minimum of 30,000 Yen (about 300 dollars). Learn and discover the secrets of Jiro who maintains such a high quality level of sushi over the years.

*In 2019, Jiro’s restaurant was removed from the Michelin guide, not because of a decline in quality but because of its poor access to the general public. It’s notorious difficulty for a regular person to get a reservation has increased as head of states and celebrities demands have risen.

seven samurai.jpg

SEVEN SAMURAI

For anyone who likes classics, Seven Samurai - or any of Director Kurosawa’s films are a must watch. Kurosawa is considered one of the greatest directors of the 20th century. Seven Samurai made a huge cultural impact in the world as it inspired a Western remake called Magnificent Seven and even inspired Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan. The film is set during 1586, when war ravaged Japan. A village of farmers hire a team of seven ronin - or masterless samurai to defend their village from bandits who raid their farm to steal their crops. This film is known to have started the innovative idea of assembling a team for a heroic mission.

We hope this recommendation of movies can help you get a taste of Japan while travel is currently restricted. We also offer pandemic friendly experiences such as our Holiday by Post Program. Every month we will send you a postcard and a thoughtfully chosen local gift with a video blog telling you more about your gift and the place that we bought it.

HELLO! TOKYO TOURS | HISTORY OF THE TOKYO OLYMPICS

London and Los Angeles have the record with the most successful Olympic bids in Olympic history - this is if Los Angeles successfully hosts the 2028 Olympics. London has hosted the Olympics in 1908, 1948 and 2012 and would have hosted it 4 times if it did in 1944, but was cancelled due to World War II. Los Angeles in 1932, 1984 and hopefully 2028 - but with events like COVID, we never know what can happen! 

Tokyo could’ve been right up there with London and Los Angeles, but it seems like Tokyo has a curse on the Olympics. Tokyo won the Olympic bid in 1936 to host the 1940 Olympics. To be fair the only other competitor was Helsinki, Finland which was destroyed in 1939 due to aerial bombardments. But, the 1940 Olympics were cancelled because of the outbreak of World War II. But we now know that Tokyo Olympics weren’t cancelled just once, but now twice - well technically postponed. 

Fast forward to post World War II. Japan laid in ruins and was on the path to recovery. They were not invited to participate in the 1948 London Olympics - but let us be honest, Japan needed to rebuild. Japan re-joined the Olympic fold in 1952 for the Helsinki Olympics and in the same year, it announced to join the bid to host the 1960 Olympics. Along with Tokyo, 6 other cities joined the bid: Rome, Lausanne, Detroit, Budapest, Brussels and Mexico City. Tokyo only gathered 4 votes and ended up finishing in the last place for the bid, with the winner going to Rome. In 1955, when IOC president Mr Brundage visited Japan for an inspection, he expressed that Tokyo had a small chance to be selected for the next games but, should re-enter the bid for the 1964 Olympics. 

Using Mr Brundage’s encouraging words, Tokyo entered the bid once again and was selected to host the 1964 Olympics. It became the first Asian country to host the Olympics, but it also gave the war-torn nation a goal and new focus to rebuilding their country.

Tokyo didn’t enter another bid until 2009 when it re-entered to host the 2016 Olympics. Although it’s worthy to mention that Osaka entered the bid to host the 2008 Olympics, but was knocked out in the first round. Obviously, the 2016 bid failed, but Tokyo re-entered the bid for the next Olympics in 2020 and won with an overwhelming fashion over Istanbul with a 60-36 vote in the final round. Well, we know what happens in 2020, but to save us some grief let’s hope the 2021 Olympics will be carried out SAFELY.

While international travel for tourists to Japan will unlikely resume during the Olympics or immediately after, we at Hello! Tokyo Tours really miss you all and hope to see you guys soon once COVID-19 is over. Once you can travel safely, join us on our tours where you can see and learn about how Tokyo developed over time from a war-torn country to a 2-time Olympic host city! As for now, we offer pandemic-friendly activities such as our Holiday by Post Program which will not only give you gifts/postcards from Japan but a discount on your next tour in Tokyo! Sign up here!
