Tokyo Doujiang Life — Restaurant in Tokyo

We absolutely loved our experience here:

🍲FOOD: We got the popular option on the menu: the tofu soup with some extra meat (delicious, light, comforting), the sesame-soy milk soup (really nice cold for breakfast on a hot day!), the peanut bread (oh my god amazing I’d eat 100 of them in 1 sitting, perfect texture and flavour combo) and the black sesame bread (yummy!! Lightly sweet, intense black sesame flavour), and the peanut milk (ミージャン, fantastic. It was creamy!! We were afraid it would be too watery but it was actually thick and amazingly yummy). Everything was so delicious! I REALLY wanted to try the peanut soup and other breads but it was sold out 🥲 next time!!

💸and cheap!!! Prices are sooo reasonable!

I would definitely love to go back soon and try all the other options!!

They accept PayPay.

We’re two Italian sisters going cafe/restaurant-hopping! Follow our Instagram account 👉 @italiansinjapan We share the best spots we find around...

This shop is so popular that by the time I arrived there (The shop opened at 9), there were already 21 groups waiting before me. You basically arrive and grab a ticket which will tell you your number. You don’t need to stay there. Just scan the QR code and check how many people have been served and if you turn is coming up. The shop is constantly full while I was there.

Being in this shop somewhat brought me back to small restaurants in Taiwan. Though the flavour is not 100% authentic, it successfully recreated the essence of the flavours. I enjoyed the mild flavours (in comparison to the strong burnt taste of the soy milk in Taiwan) and the size is just right and allows for people to order sides. Prices are quite reasonable too.

If I didn’t live so far, I would totally go at least...

Prepare to wait, Google maps misled me to think theres no wait at opening (9am) and just 15 min wait afterwards... I arrived at 8:55 and was surprised I need to get a number already. I got 34... Waited over 90 minutes for my number to be called plus another 20 for the order to be ready... So we started eating at almost 11. There's not much to do around, but there is a small park with some benches...

That being said, the breakfast was really delicious and great value. Servings are quite small, so don't hesitate to order extra if you're hungry (especially after waiting for over an hour).

There are many workers here (about 8-9?) so I was a bit surprised the service is a bit slow, but they're nice. All in all, I'd go again but I'd plan my visit...
