Omotesando, often referred to as the Champs-Élysées of Tokyo, is a bustling boulevard of trendy restaurants, international luxury shops and landmark architectures. Aside from the extravagant retail therapy it offers, this neighborhood is an exciting place to hang out and wander around. Slip into the side streets for an intriguing mix of quirky cafes and up-and-coming boutiques. Here are some of my favorites!
Delicious dumplings
Tonkatsu is deep-fried breaded cutlet and Maisen does it the best around here. There are two main types: hire (fillet) and rosu (loin, more fatty). Both are very tender on the inside yet crisp (but not too oily) on the outside. The Omotesando restaurant, an old converted bathhouse, is their flagship store.
