Experience of the stay
A perfect base for sightseeing in Tokyo is the Oakwood Hotel & Apartments Azabu, a hotel in the service apartment style that allows you to enjoy the feel of living alone in Tokyo. The rooms are equipped with a washing machine and an IH kitchen, as well as dishes and cooking utensils, making it a charm for guests to stay with just their belongings. It's also recommended to bring your own drinks and snacks to casually create a home party vibe.
The hotel is located in the popular area of Azabu-Juban, surrounded by a variety of delicious restaurants. Enjoying a stroll in the city while exploring gourmet options is part of the fun, even if it means stepping out of the comfortable guest rooms.
On the first floor, there are also cafes and Japanese restaurants, which is a nice touch as it allows for access without getting wet on rainy days.
Experiences during the trip
During a walk in the Azabu-Juban area, I stopped by a vegan ice cream shop, "Coconut Glen," which originated in Hawaii. The delightful sweetness of coconut and the nutty aroma of pistachio made for a perfect treat on a hot day.
For lunch, I enjoyed an Indian curry set at "Ganesha Dining." The richness of the butter chicken and the spiciness of the black pepper keema were just right, and the fact that both naan and rice were available for unlimited refills was a great bonus. The tandoori chicken was also fragrant and juicy, providing great satisfaction with its generous portion.
In the evening, I had a yakitori dinner at "Sumibiyaki Tori Momotarou Azabu-Juban." The yakitori, infused with the robust scent of charcoal, showcased meticulous preparation for each skewer, making it easy to indulge in some drinks.
For a second round, I headed to "Dalian Gyoza Base Azabu-Juban" for some chewy gyoza and icy cold beer, making it a relaxed and enjoyable experience.
The next day, I ventured to the Mita area for lunch at "Curry Anderson." The fragrant two-tiered curry boasted a rich and deep flavor which was satisfying and delicious at once.
After the meal, I took a break at "PASSAGE COFFEE." The carefully extracted cup of coffee was a delight for any coffee lover.
Finally, I visited the ongoing "Yukichi Fukuzawa Exhibition" at Keio University. This fulfilling Tokyo stroll satisfied both my culinary cravings and intellectual curiosity 👟
