Just a few minutes' walk from Ueno Station, Kiki is a newly opened kappo restaurant with a clean, fresh feel. Its signature grilled sesame tofu, seasonal sashimi and tempura, and even a wagyu beef monaka (a crisp wafer sandwich) have earned it a reputation for never missing the mark, all at reasonable prices. The spacious interior offers counter seats and private rooms with a refined elegance that suits both business entertaining and dates, and the kind, attentive service makes it a place you will want to return to again and again.

Sushi Shokudo BOND is a Japanese restaurant a three-minute walk from Inaricho Station, celebrated for its aburi oshizushi (torched pressed sushi), where the sauce and pairing change from one piece to the next. The kitchen leans into creative combinations, such as anago (conger eel) with sansho pepper and shrimp with tom yum sauce. At lunch, the six-piece torched pressed sushi set comes with a salad, pickles, and ara-jiru (a soup made from fish trimmings). Diners also appreciate the quality of the fish in the omakase nigiri, chosen by the chef. The tidy, welcoming dining room is comfortable to settle into, and English-speaking service is available, making it easy for visitors to enjoy a relaxed meal.
