Tokyo, Japan
The short list

What Appricio would tell you to do in Tokyo

Restaurant · Azabu

Nodaiwa Azabu Iikura Honten

A two-century-old eel specialist — one of the last places in Tokyo cooking wild-caught unagi in the Edo tradition over charcoal; the hitsumabushi rice pot is what regulars come for.

Restaurant · Shinjuku

Shinjuku Kappo NAKAJIMA

A Michelin-starred kaiseki kitchen that serves an honest sardine set lunch for under ¥1,100 — four preparations (raw, fried, simmered, hot-pot) with rice and miso soup — making it one of the most…

Ryogoku

Ryogoku Kokugikan Sumo Arena

The national sumo arena hosts three grand tournaments a year (January, May, September); on off months you can watch wrestlers at morning practice — the closest thing Tokyo has to a civic ritual.

Shop · Ginza

Takumi

Founded by Mingei movement pioneer Yanagi Soetsu, this compact shop sells regional crafts from across Japan — ceramics, glassware, textiles — chosen for their everyday usefulness, not their decorativeness.

Bar · Tomigaya

Ahiru Store

A tiny sibling-run standing wine bar in Tomigaya that is the reference point for Tokyo's natural-wine crowd — charcuterie, good bread, and bottles you won't find anywhere else on the block.

Bar · Ginza

Punch Room Tokyo

The Tokyo EDITION's cocktail bar just climbed to No.

Tokyo, decided in 30 seconds.

Stop scrolling fifty options. Appricio gives you the one — with a reason, and a Plan B if you've seen it.
