A Taste of Everything in Marunouchi

Marunouchi is Tokyo’s financial district. That means some of the best restaurants in the city are located here to serve the corporate office workers and their clients. There is certainly no shortage of excellent eats in Marunouchi at all hours of the day.

Quick Bites in the Tokyo Station

Many countries in the world have their fast food culture overloaded with junk food. Japan has a “fast food” culture consisting of amazing sushi and comforting bowls of ramen. Real, quality, unprocessed food that is served and slurped up in minutes.

Classic Japanese Meals in Marunouchi

When in Japan, indulge in all the Japanese cuisine. In foreign countries, most Japanese restaurants tend to offer everything on the menu. In Japan, each Japanese restaurant specializes in one main area – for instance, ramen shops, tempura bars, yakitori restaurants, sukiyaki restaurants. And this is why eating in Japan is non-stop to attempt to eat in as many of these specialty restaurants as possible.

Yakitori Tokyo
Grilled chicken wings at Tori Kansuke. The restaurant specializes in chicken dishes, particularly grilled chicken parts and fried chicken. There is also an emphasis on food and beverage pairing, with local craft beers, sakes, and wines. Read more about Tori Kansuke here
Sukiyaki Tokyo
