Pick up recommended restaurants around Daikanyama, Tokyo. 5 stores including sandwiches and cacao specialty stores.
Toms sandwich
A long-established sandwich specialty store "Toms Sandwich" is about a 5-minute walk from Daikanyama Station. Famous for its many celebrities, the restaurant offers exciting sandwiches.The "BLT" I ordered (2,500 yen including regular tax) is sandwiched with crispy outside, crispy bacon with fluffy bread inside, fresh lettuce and tomatoes. There is a lot of volume, but when you actually eat it, it's surprisingly delicious. It's a dish that reminds me of "Oh, I want to eat that sandwich again" at the moment.
Hillside Pantry Daikanyama
"Hillside Pantry Daikanyama" opened in 1993 as a store for homemade bread and high-end imported ingredients. The store is lined with breads carefully made by craftsmen from scratch.The best-selling product "Natural Yeast Croissant" (240 yen plus tax) since its establishment surprised the softness of the dough! It is fluffy and chewy, and the sweetness spreads as you chew. The overall taste is light and you can enjoy it with ham or cheese inside.
In addition to bread, various products such as imported foods and seasonal vegetables from all over the world are sold in the store. Recommended when you want to have a quick meal in Daikanyama or when you want to get rare ingredients.
High cacao
"HI-CACAO CHOCOLATE STAND" opened in February 2018. Bean to Bar This is a shop where you can enjoy chocolate casually.When you put a knife in the popular product "Freshly baked fondant chocolate (Franboise)" (600 yen plus tax), the chocolate overflows at once. The sourness of Franboise adds an accent to the powerful richness of cacao. You can enjoy the deep charm of cacao.
Ivy Place
"IVY PLACE" is a cafe and dining bar with a stylish atmosphere. It's the perfect place to spend a good time chatting with family and friends."Classic buttermilk pancake" (1,300 yen including tax) has three layers of fluffy dough. Since the amount is large, it is better to add syrup or fruits that can be added for a fee on the way. Why not spend an elegant cafe time with sweet pancakes and refreshing coffee?
Hachiya
Hachiya is a Japanese tea specialty store that proposes new ways to enjoy Japanese tea. Mainly original sencha, hojicha, and genmaicha, tea latte and Japanese sweets that go well with tea are offered."Hojicha smoothie" (S size 500 yen including tax) has an impressive fragrance and umami that fills your mouth. The secret flavor of white bean paste adds an elegant sweetness. I would like to recommend it to those who like hojicha flavor.
The rich "black sesame latte" and "anmitsu", which is a combination of agar, beans, red bean paste, fruits, and fertilizer with black honey, were also insanely delicious! It is a shop that reminds you of the "charm of Japanese".
There is also a local pattern of Daikanyama, and everywhere has a fashionable atmosphere. Please visit the store you are interested in.
