They use only the freshest tuna, which you can choose to eat in the restaurant in the form of sushi, sashimi, donburi, or your choice of a bowl of rice, all while watching the tuna being processed.
Enjoy your favorite parts of the tuna, such as lean meat, medium fatty tuna, large fatty tuna, and the rare kamatoro!
enjoy barista made green tee at MATCHA STAND
MATCHA STAND MARUNI, which opened in 2018, is a stand-type cafe where you can casually enjoy matcha tea. Once you step into the stylish store with its tiled counter, the aroma of tea will calm your mind.
The aroma of the tea is very pleasant, and the tea is carefully brewed one by one upon order. Freshly brewed matcha is combined with plenty of milk to make a matcha latte or matcha cappuccino.
The store's recommendation is the iced matcha latte. The richness and flavor of the tea can be felt even more strongly in an iced latte, which is a must-try even in the cold season.
Don't miss the moment when the matcha is poured into the milk, and how beautifully it melds with the milk. How about a soothing and relaxing time in the warm atmosphere of the store?

“Layover tour ”
I had such a great time with Yoshie!!! She was great at communicating the plan beforehand ensuring I was doing everything I wanted and leading up to the day to ensure I was prepared. She helped navigate the transit system (there was no way I would have been able to do that in the little time I had). Throughout the day she explained where we were going and other points of interest along the way. We took the transit to get to Shibuya crossing where we viewed it from the Starbucks and one other viewpoint. We visited the Hachiko statue which was a stop I asked for if time permitted. Then we went off to the Meiji Jingu Shinto Shrine. This was such a beautiful spot to visit among the hustle and bustle of the city. Yoshie shared so much information and history while we walked through the grounds. She even came prepared with a handkerchief to use after the cleansing ritual. Our next stop wasn't on the plan but was worth it! Yoyogi Park where we saw the cherry blossoms in bloom, the Pine Tree of Imperial Troop Review and it was generally a nice park to visit on a day with wonderful weather. Again another relaxing and slow paced spot to visit. Then we were off to Takeshita Street! It was a busy busy busy tourist spot and it was still nice to walk through and grab souvenirs and see the interesting shops and the many different animal cafes. We ended the day with a nice lunch at Haneda airport. Thank you Yoshie for making my short visit so enjoyable and for the small gift!

Hi, Rowela! Thank you for writing a beautiful review for me! I was impressed by your kind words. On the way to the sightseeing places was 4 minutes and it was nice to talk with you. Life is full of joy, I realized that although the countries are different, the feeling of cherishing family is the same everywhere. And the tour day was a nice sunny day! The cherry blossom in Yoyogi was in full bloom. Thank you for sharing a beautiful moment with me.
