This restaurant is known for its Miyazaki brand pork, “Minami no Buta.” The breading isn’t too thick, and the outside is crisp and fragrant. When you bite into it, you can taste the tenderness and juiciness of the pork itself. Tonkatsu may look simple, but careful attention goes into everything from selecting the meat and breading it to controlling the oil temperature. You don’t just taste the fried coating—you can also taste the pork’s natural sweetness. It’s no wonder this place is quite popular in the Kagurazaka area.

Ginza Matsuzaki Senbei Main Shop
A long-standing Senbei (a type of Japanese cracker) shop, founded in 1804. The “Oedo Matsuzaki Sanmido” Kawara Senbei, representing the Matsuzaki Senbei, has a smooth surface on which a craftsman will carefully paint a seasonal motif with syrup, one by one. It uses plenty of eggs, and the light sweetness with a crispy pleasant texture is loved by a wide range of customers.
Ginza Matsuzaki Senbei is a long-established Tokyo senbei shop founded in 1804, known for its traditionally handcrafted rice crackers. Its signature “Oedo Matsuzaki Koyomi” features seasonal scenes painted on the crackers, making each one look like a small work of art, delicate and full of Japanese charm. The shop also offers a variety of senbei and wagashi, all elegantly packaged and perfect as gifts. They taste a little like Taiwanese tile cookies.

BEAMS Ginza
The Ginza store of "BEAMS", one of the pioneer select shops and favored by a wide range of age groups. The store consists of two floors, the 2nd and 3rd floors, with the men's and women's casual clothing on the 2nd floor and the men's dress and designer goods on the 3rd floor. The third floor features formal items such as the original "BEAMS F" brand and the imported "LARDINI" brand. There is also a salon where customers can order custom suits and shirts.
BEAMS is one of my personal favorite clothing brands. The Ginza store has a stylish, upscale feel, and the displays are very tasteful. It’s a great place to browse and get a feel for the brand’s style, but if you’re hoping to find a bargain, you might be a little disappointed, as there aren’t many discounted items. BEAMS fans may want to visit, but with such beautiful products and those prices, it can be hard to make a purchase.
