Stepping into lunch time, entangled in Ginza's dazzling choices? You may wish to try a true father-in-law niece in Nishinojo-cho, not far away. The parent-child shop "Yama" started business in Baku for ten years, that is, in 1760 AD. Now it has been circulated to the eighth generation. It is definitely a fascinating taste in Tokyo and it is a parent-in-law inventor. The dishes haven’t changed since 1980, and Yuan Zu’s title deserves its name.

Be sure to taste the shop sign Ganso oyakodon, and "Jade industrializationで" signs, it is its own cultivation of Tokyo Shamo "moo shiゃ" . For more than 200 years, "Jade" has used Tokyo Junji for cooking. The meat quality of this chicken is also the most proud of "Yuxi" and its freshness is comparable to that of fish and seafood. This old shop often has a long queue in front, so it is very necessary to set aside time, but when the seats start to move, when the first taste in the taste buds bloom, that moment of happiness should be unparalleled. The centuries-old sense of Tokyo Junji and the edo taste have all melted into such a fat and tender chicken...

In a store full of Showa, even the metal tag and the bells have a sense of time, and the smell of coffee fermentation blends in with the flavor of history, into the nose and into the bottom of the heart. There is a cultural atmosphere of a traditional Japanese coffee shop, and it seems that there is a fresh taste in Ginza where gold is everywhere. Temporarily store the impetuous mood in another space, and sit back and relax on a leather sofa with a touch of sensibility, and let this taste into your head, and think about the common meaning of the past and the present.
