Harajuku Group Dining Guide Names Sakura Tei as Editor’s Pick
A guide to Harajuku restaurants for groups has been published, listing options for sit-down meals in the area. It names Sakura Tei as the editor’s pick.
The guide notes that finding somewhere to eat together in Tokyo with a group can be challenging, particularly in popular areas like Harajuku. It says Takeshita Street and its surrounds are a mecca for street food, but that sometimes a weary travel squad needs a sit-down and something more substantial.
The editor’s pick is Sakura Tei, described as the biggest okonomiyaki restaurant in Japan and best for Japanese food. The guide says Sakura Tei has been a Harajuku institution for three decades and that its two-story building was once a sharehouse, converted into an artsy okonomiyaki restaurant.
