Chasiu melts in your mouth, the stock soup is full body and yet quite light. Not greasy like Tonkotsu style. One of the best Tokyo style (shoyu-based) ramen in our opinion. 

Citylight Book at Yoyogi-uehara is the type of independent bookstore where I would wish to hang every week. It opens in the afternoon and runs through late night as a bookstore, as well as a meet-up place, a bar for book lovers. Founded by Kaminaga-san, a veteran who had worked with publishing industry for many years before creating his own version of bookstore, this is a cool place to browse for new titles of books and magazines of a wide range of genres/topics. The second floor works as a nice study room too. CABO, the mix place where the bookstore is located also offers other original selection of snack bar and fine dining. You can easily drift in and out, encountering interesting souls in the hood. I had a book launch and talk event here in May, 2024. It's been such a wonderful experience, good crowd and good vibes only! 

Serene, calm, intimate park

Super tasteful place, best wine selection (all natural off course, french cuisine with a Japanese light approach and suuuper nice staff.

TSUTAYA is a brand for rental movies and music. In 2011, the new TSUTAYA lanched in Daikanyama, Tokyo. They have a vast selection of art and design books. People enjoy to find books here and drinking coffee.
