I excluded it from the list because I have not visited it for a long time, but it may have been good for me to include it.
The Kitauchi Premium Beef Steak that is made using scarce wagyu beef and finished with a crisp surface is worth a try.
Yes, because of the city's redevelopment efforts, it seems that the shop has been forced to evict. Apparently, it is going to reopen somewhere else, but there are no details about that yet.
There is a ramen shop called Gonoi in Jinbocho, which is run by a former apprentice, where diners can enjoy the same flavors as they did at Asuka.

I stopped going after he put the prices up a few years back. It's even more expensive now. Foodies should visit once but once you discover more restaurants in Tokyo you probably won't go back.
I’ve been to GELATERIA ACQUOLINA. They have lots of seasonal flavors so it’s a fun place to visit. I have not been to water meron, but it looks like their soft serve gets pretty good reviews.
They do not have any particular starting time specified, and their system is such that guests can request for a time between 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. that is convenient for them.
Nice list!
I would like to also recommend Nagasaki Hanten
https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1303/A130301/13033880/
which while is not for everyone, I went back to a second time a couple weeks ago and enjoyed it immensely. Featured in Season 6? of one of the episodes of Kodoku No Gurume (lonely gourmet), the food lives up to the coverage.
While no English is spoken that I am aware of (and no English menu), all you need to do is focus on one or two signature dishes. The food is Nagasaki style Japanese Chinese
- Gokujo Champon (signature Nagasaki style pork bone broth ramen with a delectable amount of stir fried cabbage, pork, mixed seafood, vegetables on top with round slightly thicker medium firm noodles). Second time having this and still loved it. Seems healthier than Buta Yaro ;-) or Ramen Jiro's monster bowls...
- Sara (Sala) udon - this is not udon but resembles Cantonese pan fried noodles with cabbage and pork (and a few other things) on top. Another Nagasaki specialty. You can ask for "kata men" which is firmer crispier noodles. In the end it doesn't matter anyway as the starch thickened sauce will make it all less crispy and delicious. Alternate between vinegar, mustard, and their seasoned soy sauce in moderation.
If anything focus only on the champon. The soup alone is gorgeous, the seafood delicious, and the shitake is ridiculously good after absorbing all that flavor. If room allows then try the Sara Udon.
Get an order of yaki gyoza (beautiful and quite large portion), and a "bin biru" (bottle of Kirin) or you can get a nama beer. Then you should be good!
They have other classics like sweet sour pork (su-buta) and the typical chuka ryori classics, but the champon is a must have.
Below are the prices and the cancellation charges quoted by my hotel for satake when I went for lunch early this month(Aug 2018).
Restaurant: Sushi Satake
Course: 12,960JPY per person course only
Cancellation policy: 100% of te course if you cancel the reservation on the reservation day.
Where possible, I think it is better to make a reservation in advance of your visit. However, as we do not accept reservations for Sushi Ishijima, please expect some waiting time on the day of your visit.
I wrote an article about basic manners for eating traditional Japanese cuisine (kaiseki, kappo) that people may think they understand, but would be surprised to find out that they didn't.
Located in the agglomeration of excellent restaurants encircling the Tokyo Skytree. An opportunity to eat in this establishment should not be missed. You have to read this if you are planning to visit the Tokyo Skytree.
