Tokyo | Can You Believe This Is at Tsukiji Hongan-ji(1)โ๏ธ
๐๐ธHow was everyone's National Day? It's time to get back to the grind, but don't worry, don't worry! Let's reminisce about some delicious food and start looking forward to the next trip. Today, I'm taking you on a 99.99% unknown, extraordinary Tsukiji adventure. ๐ ๐๐ธ As we all know, Tsukiji Market is no longer the fish wholesale hub it once was, but that doesn't stop the outer market from offering some of the freshest food experiences. There are countless food guides out there, but what Ci wants to share with you today is a little-known Japanese breakfast spot + a century-old coffee shop. โซ๏ธโช๏ธ Tsumugi โช๏ธโซ๏ธ ๐๐ธ This breakfast spot is located inside Tsukiji Hongan-ji temple and is the only temple breakfast in Tokyo. It's famous for its 18-item breakfast, which includes 16 small dishes, congee, miso soup, and tea. The name "18 items" also has a deeper meaning, coming from the 18th vow out of the 48 vows of Amitabha Buddha in Buddhism, symbolizing the compassionate heart of "never abandoning any sentient being." ๐ฟ ๐๐ธ #Tokyo #HiddenGems #FoodieAdventures ๐
