Food

Wow your five senses with timeless cuisine Whether your cup of tea is a bowl of hot steaming ramen, the finest sushi or hyper-authentic Italian cuisine, Tokyo has more of it than anywhere ̶ over 100,000 restaurants and the most Michelin stars in the world. Freshness and quality are deeply rooted in Japanese culinary tradition, where you taste the ingredients. This food experience transcends just mouth-watering pleasure ̶ it delights all your senses. Dishes not only taste exceptionally good, they’ re a feast for your eyes too. In fact, Washoku, or traditional Japanese cuisine, has been added to UNESCO’ s Intangible Cultural Heritage list. You can even take some home. Learn sushi-making from master chefs, or become a sake aficionado and impress your friends.
