Tokyo | Can You Believe This Is at Tsukiji Hongan-ji(2)βοΈ
I booked a table for 8:30 AM a month in advance, and when I arrived, there was already a long line outside the restaurant. ππΈ The entrance is right next to the Tsukiji subway station, and people exiting the station would first bow deeply towards the temple before heading into the restaurant. π Those dining inside were savoring their meals, while those in line patiently waited for their turn. There was a deep sense of connection to Buddhist culture and the community. πΏ The 18-item breakfast features a wide variety of vegetables, tofu, meat, and fish, all served with soft, glutinous rice porridge. ππΈ Each bite offers a different experience. The flavors are well-balanced, with each small dish accompanied by a description. There are salty and sour umeboshi plums to whet your appetite, and pickled kelp to go with your rice. ππΈ There's also light yuzu tofu and refreshing duck breast. Whichever you choose, it's the perfect choice for you. π² π₯£ After a bowl of rice porridge and a sip of refreshing tea, a quick bow to the Buddha in the temple, and you're ready to start a bright new day. β : Google Map: 4.1 (You can book directly) π: Japan, γ104-0045 Tokyo, Chuo City, Tsukiji, 3 Chomeβ15β1 #Tokyo π
