Tsukiji Peppers Cafe — Restaurant in Tokyo

Tsukiji Pepper Cafe is a hidden gem among the bustling fish markets the area is known for. Nestled down a small alley, just off the main walk, you'd miss it if you didn't know what you were looking for.

If you were lucky enough to find it, you'd be met with a friendly smile, amazing service, and some of the best food in the area.

After traveling south east Asia for months and ending up in Japan there is one thing I missed the most, Vietnamese coffee. I was delighted to see it featured on the menu, and I got to once again enjoy my beloved brown coffee before I head back to north America. The iced Vietnamese coffee is just as good as in Vietnam, and a must try on a hot day.

We went two days in a row, first trying the chicken sandwich and making our own pizza. Both were delicious. Highly recommend splitting with a friend so you can try a few things off the menu. They also let us try the fresh pepper they import from cambodia, and wow. What a flavor explosion and experience I won't soon forget.

The next day we had a couple more of the sandwiches and doubled up on coffees. Each sandwich was fresh, with a nice balance of ingredients, and we enjoyed the company of the owners as we sat, talked and took in our final days in Japan.

The pizza was delicious, of course you can make it however you like, for a large variety of different flavors and experiences.

If you're in the fish market area, look for the coffee sign, head down the alley and give Tsukiji Peppers Cafe a shot. You...

I first heard of this cafe out of random on a YouTube short. When me and my wife were wandering aimlessly around the Tsukiji market I immediately noticed and remembered. I dragged my wife in and told her about this place. We didn't ordered their signature foods but did ordered their cola and lemonade drink which were DELICIOUS. The owner, Tetsu-san graciously invited us in and asked us where we were from and then started giving us and the rest of the customers nearby a history of the cafe and why they use black pepper.

We will definitely come back when we visit Japan again. Tetsu-san, if you're reading this :

Literally down an alleyway behind another store. If you are a foodie you must come. They make Napoli style pizza with no oven!!!! They do it their own way and top it with Cambodian peppercorns (a must try as well) Lacks wood flavor from wood fire and crisp but AMAZING none the less (their dough is phenomenal). Tetsu-san and his wife are both foodies. I recommend the pizza and tsukiji special cola (house made cola) and tsukiji lemonade. Make sure to stop here for an amazing time. They are amazing people and take pride in their craft. He has regulars from Napoli as well and I 100% believe him. The best pizza I have had outside of Japan and New York (this place would not struggle to be a top New York joint if they...
