Ten Mame
A confectioner where you can sample fresh home-made agar. Made with raw ingredients from Kozu Island, one of the Tokyo Izu Islands, this delicious agar fills your mouth with the innate fragrance of the confection. The smooth sensation upon swallowing is also perfectly suited to a summer's day. As the agar is the main part of the meal, it is served simply with just a perfectly-pitched mix of vinegar and soy sauce. Proclaiming that "agar is best when freshly cut," they prepare your agar after taking your order.

Tsukiji Nunotsune Sarashina
A soba noodle restaurant serving popular freshly made 100% buckwheat flour soba noodles. The rich soup, made with high quality bonito and katsuobushi, and the tart citrus of the sudachi blend into a match made in heaven. The cold, tight soba noodles are firmly chewy, with the flavor of the buckwheat coming through the more you chew. The circular slices of sudachi that cover the soba not only add a wonderful deliciousness but also look incredibly refreshing as well.

Shodoten Nihonbashi
A Chinese restaurant in business for more than 70 years and loved by the locals. Their popular tantanmen noodles have grated radish added so that they can be enjoyed even in the height of summer.
