Neighbourhood spotlight: Kuramae, Tokyo - SilverKris

"A cosy restaurant centered on nekase genmai, a traditional brown‑rice technique that keeps rice in a heat‑insulated jar over several days to achieve a soft, slightly sticky texture while retaining the nutritious bran. At lunch it serves home‑style dishes built around this rice; by night it shifts into a relaxed gastropub offering sake and domestically produced wines. An adjacent shop stocks artisanal foodstuffs—from miso to sweets and brown rice—underscoring the restaurant's seasonal, produce-led approach and ties to local food traditions." - Jessica Kozuka
