Let’s Have Energy Charge From Morning! 3 Japanese Breakfast Restaurants Packed with Nutrients!
07/13/2018
When you book the hotels in Japan, I assume that everyone will book either the hotel include with breakfast or just for bed to make it cheaper. It is really nice to have hotel breakfast, but can be said it is a little expensive than we normally eat at outside. Basically, the hotel breakfast is a buffet style of Japanese, Western, Chinese foods, and there are not much difference everywhere. If you come to Japan, I suggest you to try something different and have what local Japanese eats.
This time, I mainly focus on “Japanese meal” , which opens from early in the morning!
Let`s go for power charge!
Tsukiji Honganji Cafe Tsumuji／Tsukiji（Operation Hours: 8:00～）
”Tsukiji Honganji Cafe Tsumuji“ is a cafe opened at information center near to “Tsukiji Honganji” in November, 2017. It is Japanese,”Wa” cafe with a modern and calm wooden interior. From the large window glass which spreads all over, you can see the "Tsukiji Honjin" with a history of over 400 years.

An imperial temple is in Nishi Honganji temple in Kyoto city. With western style appearance, the interior can see stained glasses and statues of animals.

We eat ”Ochazuke" as a late night meal or when you want to have a small thing.
Mainly, a food pouring a tea on a white rice is called, 'Ochazuke' and we will eat together with pickles and plums etc. separately. From the Edo period, it has become widespread to put ingredients on the rice such as umeboshi and tsukudani etc. in “Ochazuke” and pour hot tea. From the Showa period, people began to eat with cold green tea or barley tea at the hot summer season. Nowadays, there are store offering "Ochazuke" using “dashi” besides tea.

“Miso soup” is harmonized with "miso paste" made by fermenting soup stock taken with kelp and bonito; add with soybeans, rice, wheat or grains, salt and koji(yeast). It is one of the home cooking food that Japanese often drink, and also characterized by various kinds of taste depending on the prefecture. In addition, miso soup is attracting attention as a healthy soup in overseas!
The restaurant I want to introduce today,”MISOJYU” was opened in Asakusa on June, 2018 as a specialty “Miso soup” restaurant. The exterior of "MISOJYU" is a small house, and if you enter, the 1st floor is a counter seat of 6 seats, and it is a warm interior that makes you feel Japanese "Wa" when you go up to the second floor. The table has 14 seats on the 2nd floor, and the number of seats is not many, but “Miso soup you have it here is awesome!

There are two kinds of regular miso soup. One is "Usual tofu miso soup which is different from usual" and "Various kinds of mushrooms miso soup." There are three other special menus available besides this! They are also particular about the “ingredients" of miso soup using organic vegetables!
This is, "Big slice vegetables with Japanese braised pork belly Tonjiru.” “Tonjiru” is a Japanese traditional dish that seasoned with miso by stewing vegetables such as pork and burdstock, taro and radish. At here, they cut the vegetables in large pieces and use braised pork instead of pork back ribs.
