Hello!
I’ve now been living in Tokyo for about six months and absolutely love it, so much so that I just decided to stay another two years to do my master’s!
My boyfriend is a Tokyo native and hardcore foodie. He knows all these amazing restaurants all over the city. His birthday is coming up at the end of March, and I’d love to surprise him with a place he hasn’t been before – ideally something underground, local, unique, or hard-to-find.
He’s pretty particular about food, and I want this to be a special experience. I’m open to izakayas, speciality cuisine, omakase, or anything that isnt on the first page of Google Maps that everyone goes to (think of "gnudi" and "flour+water Nakameguro" as reference points).
My budget is not strict. I'm looking for something memorable, more than cheap (but not necessarily crazy expensive either).
Any recommendations for places that locals love but visitors might not know?
