<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#20 PIERRE HERMÉ / PARIS</span></p>

Every single item fascinates and makes us squeal with excitement like kids. Famed for his macarons with unusual flavours, Pierre Hermé is known as the &#8220;Picasso of Pastry&#8221;.

And beyond cupcakes, Primrose Bakery also has an array of layer cakes, loaves and sliced cakes. Primrose Bakery also has a second branch in Covent Garden, but we very much preferred the peace and tranquility of Primrose Hill.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Aoki makes exquisite macarons with Japanese flavours like sesame, matcha, yuzu and genmaicha. And their eclairs… what&#8217;s a better word than &#8216;divine&#8217;? We dare claim that Sadaharu Aoki has the best eclairs in the world.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Tokyo is fascinating in more than a million ways, and we would jet off to that Japanese city in a heart beat. And do we even need a reason to do so?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not at all, we&#8217;d say. But if we must, Tokyo is where anyone and everyone can be inspired by anything and everything. From their incredible food, splendiferous culture and history, amazingly friendly and polite citizens, and even world-class toilets, we really think it is impossible to not fall in love!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you haven&#8217;t been, we are here to share our favourites about Tokyo, and we hope this list of <strong>25 Reasons Why We Love Tokyo</strong> will activate the bigger wanderlust bug in you and have you book a flight out on your next leave. For those who are already fans, let&#8217;s take a moment in time to reminisce all the good that Tokyo has brought to our soul:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-37244"></span> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-33468" alt="Uoriki Kaisen Sushi" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Uoriki-Kaisen-Sushi.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">1. AFFORDABLE AND GOOD QUALITY SUSHI AND SASHIMI</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Japanese food in Tokyo is is a one-of-a-kind experience and a leisure on a whole different level. Sushi and sashimi are so fresh that you will never see Japanese food in the same light ever again. Our top pick is <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2013/10/uoriki-kaisen-sushi-restaurant-tokyo/">Uoriki Kaisen Sushi</a>, a humble Japanese eatery that dishes out super fresh sushi and sashimi at pocket-friendly prices.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Read our <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2013/11/tokyo-affordable-sushi-restaurants/">guide to affordable sushi restaurants in Tokyo</a></span>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">2. CONVENIENCE STORES HAVE EVERYTHING</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Convenience stores in Japan are a-m-a-z-i-n-g. From ATMs, kiosks selling movie and bus tickets, piping hot oden and all kinds of Japanese instant noodles and snacks, Japanese convenience stores have everything you need.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-37289" alt="Tokyo DisneySea" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Tokyo-DisneySea.jpg" width="710" height="453" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">3. TOKYO&#8217;S DISNEYSEA</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What&#8217;s there not to love about Mickey and friends? Disneyland is the happiest place on earth!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-37129" alt="Ginza" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Ginza.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">4. EVERY NEIGHBOURHOOD HAS ITS DISTINCTIVE CHARM</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">No matter how many times you have been to Tokyo, it is a place that you will fall in love with again and again. Every neighbourhood has its distinctive charm, and there are always new things to discover and fall in love with.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;">5. FLOWER MARKET CAFE</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Awestruck. That was how we felt when we stepped into <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2013/12/aoyama-flower-market-tea-house-tokyo/">Aoyama Flower Market Tea House</a> in Tokyo. It combines a florist with a tea house, and the result is the dream café for every girl.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;">6. GLORIOUS, MELT-IN-THE-MOUTH TONKATSU</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once you have had a tonkatsu in Japan, your life will never be the same again. A good tonkatsu is one that is deep-fried to golden brown and texturised with crumbs, and has layers of meat and fats bursting with flavours and melts in your mouth – nothing overly oily, and satisfying on every level.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;">7. GO CRAZY AT JAPANESE FOOD HALLS</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the highlights of Japan is surely its Japanese food halls, which are filled with kiosks selling anything from cute pastries and cakes, to delicious Japanese bentos and snacks. We can eat ten meals a day with the endless selections!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-37152" alt="Takeshita Street" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Takeshita-Street.jpg" width="710" height="1067" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">8. HARAJUKU, THE LAND OF ALL THINGS KAWAII</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Vibrant and full of life, Harajuku is the epicentre of Japanese youth culture and fashion, and it is littered with independent boutiques and hip cafes. Do not leave Takeshita Street without picking up a crepe, too! Which brings us to the next point.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-37132" alt="Harajuku Crepes" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Harajuku-Crepes.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">9. HARAJUKU LEGENDARY FRENCH-STYLE JAPANESE CREPES</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">No one visits Harajuku without having the legendary French-style Japanese crepes. There are four to five crepe stores in Harajuku, but we like Angels Heart and Marion Crepes the most! Who says you cannot have the best of all worlds? You can have your crepe with fresh cream, sweet fruits, ice-cream and a slice of cake altogether!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-33342" alt="Ichiran Ramen" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Ichiran-Ramen.jpg" width="710" height="1067" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">10. <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2013/10/ichiran-tonkotsu-ramen-japan/">ICHIRAN RAMEN, THE BEST RAMEN IN TOKYO, IF NOT THE WORLD</a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ichiran Ramen is a popular ramen chain in Japan, and it has been widely accepted as one of the best spots for tonkotsu ramen. And we cannot agree more – with all my heart. A bowl of Ichiran ramen is truly food for the soul, and it is very affordable (¥780/S$10). It is undisputedly a ramen house that you cannot leave Japan without patronising.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-37254" alt="Japanese Flavour Kitkat" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Japanese-Flavour-Kitkat.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;">12. LARGEST UNIQLO SHOP IN THE WORLD</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Spanning over 12 floors, Uniqlo&#8217;s flagship outlet in Ginza is the largest in the world. Time to fill your luggages with all colours of their Airism basics and Heat-techs, we say!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-37295" alt="Tokyo Farmers Market" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Tokyo-Farmers-Market.jpg" width="710" height="472" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">13. MARCHE JAPON FARMERS&#8217; MARKET</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tokyo’s farmer’s market located at Aoyama, in front of the United Nations University, is one that offers fresh produce of vegetables and fruits. Expect an array of colours and even if you are not shopping, it is quite a sight to behold!</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">14. MOUNT FUJI IS JUST TWO HOURS AWAY</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Take a day trip to Lake Kawaguchi, and enjoy Hakone’s hot springs, breath-taking scenery, and the ever picturesque Mount Fuji. Life can be so simple, just like that.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;">15. EXPLORE AND GET LOST IN THE ALLEYS OF OMOTESANDO</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Champs-Élysées of Tokyo, Omotesando has surprises at every corner, and we can easily spend a whole day wandering around. There are many small streets waiting for you to explore, discover, and to get lost in, in a good way of course.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-37297" alt="Mori Tower" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Mori-Tower.jpg" width="710" height="472" /></p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-37301" alt="Sadaharu Aoki Tokyo" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Sadaharu-Aoki-Tokyo.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">17. SADAHARU AOKI HAS THE BEST JAPANESE FLAVOURED MACARONS AND ECLAIRS IN THE UNIVERSE AND BEYOND</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This famous Japanese-trained pastry chef made his name in Paris by creating French desserts with Japanese flavours. Sadaharu Aoki boasts splendid Japanese-flavoured sweets; think Houjicha maracons and matcha eclairs. Bringing his success back to his hometown, Japanese and visitors all over the world flock to his outlets every day. Be prepared to queue if you want to dine in.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;">19. SENSO-JI TEMPLE IN ASAKUSA</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Senso-ji Temple, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple, is one of the most colourful and prominent temples in Tokyo. It is also the oldest, dating way back to Year 628.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">It is no secret that we love our sweets. Tokyo is known for having amazing desserts, so you can imagine what a heaven that is for us. We&#8217;ve taken a few trips to the capital city of Japan, and each one had us falling in love with their exquisite selections.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It was so much fun going around all day, indulging in the prettiest cakes and finest sweets. And because the Japanese really take pride in what they serve on the table, there is no lack of patisseries to head to whenever we need some sugar rush. Here, we share <strong>5 of the best Patisseries in Tokyo</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-29009"></span></p>

<hr />
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Boulangerie Patisserie Viron</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are in the Shibuya area, you have to go to Boulangerie Patisserie Viron. They have good bread, and also very fascinating desserts.

<hr />
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Hidemi Sugino</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is not exaggerating to say that Hidemi Sugino is one of the best pastry chefs in Tokyo. The patisserie makes beautiful pastries and is particularly known for their mousse cakes. Finding the place is slightly challenging, but once you get there, you will agree that it is worth the trip. The popular cakes are always sold out, so make sure you get there early.</p>

<hr />
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Henri Charpentier</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">Henri Charpentier well-loved by the world by now. They make exceptional desserts and pastries that are awards-worthy. Its flagship outlet at Tokyo is a classy setting of a tea salon. Fans of lemon desserts have to try Henri Charpentier’s Tarte Au Citron; it is the best we&#8217;ve had.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bring back a piece of Henri Charpenter in the form of takeaway snacks (¥683 or S$9) such as madeleines, financiers and biscuits &#8211; they all come in very pretty boxes. They definitely make great gifts for friends and colleagues.</p>

<hr />
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Pierre Hermé Chocolate Bar</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">What more can be said about Pierre Hermé? He is the God of desserts. He is the Picasso of Pastry. He brought French pastry to a whole new level.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pierre Hermé&#8217;s Chocolate Bar, an elegant 20-seater cafe in Aoyama, is a place not to be missed when you are in Tokyo. Besides the signature cakes, pastries and macarons, the chocolate bar offers a dessert degustation which showcases the best of Pierre Herme&#8217;s creations.</p>

<hr />
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Sadaharu Aoki</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nobody should leave Tokyo without visiting Sadaharu Aoki. This famous Japanese-trained pastry chef made his name in Paris by creating French desserts with Japanese flavours. Aoki makes exquisite macarons with Japanese flavours like sesame, matcha, yuzu and genmaicha. And their eclairs… what&#8217;s a better word than &#8216;divine&#8217;? We dare claim that Sadaharu Aoki has the best eclairs in the world.</p>
