Chuo City, Tokyo, Japan｜Hachidaime Gihe-e

Wow! Just wow! This is heaven! They cook the white rice to perfection! I passed by this place and saw a crowd and decided to join them. I have no regret for waiting an hour to try this. The shop opens on 11am. If you are coming early, write your name down in the waiting list, then check the menu and decide what you want to order. The waiter will come out and call the names to take order. Keep waiting until the waiter calls for your name again to usher you in. The rice is delicious! I had 2 bowls of rice. The rice will make you fall in love. Trust me. This place becomes my favourite and I will always visit whenever I’m in Tokyo.

We were a bit late due to my medical situation. We have to wait till the next spot for the lunch . Well it was worth the wait . It is rice from Kyoto area (I can tell by tasting 😄) . It is unlimited refill so I went for three more times (I could go for five but owner might not be happy since we were late already 😅) definitely worth revisiting. If you can’t find it , just google bar high five . It is first floor of the same building .

An extremely spectacular dining experience here. Get any of their lunch sets as they won’t disappoint! They are famous for their rice especially the crispy clay pot rice. We ordered: - 🍤one of their signature sets, called ginshari set where they serve small dishes in a cute basket and in the centre is an assorted set of tempura and you end the meal with ochazuke which is a clear dashi broth and pairs so perfectly with rice - 🐟two types of grilled fish set - 🐔chicken karage served with this sesame dip sauce and a side of cabbage
