AKOMEYA TOKYO in la kagū

This is a must visit if you want to buy specialized local goods from all over Japan. Coming from the US, I found so many fascinating products that I would have never discovered elsewhere. I definitely shopped a lot and brought back a lot of food items as well as some ceramics, kitchen tools, and even a kitchen apron jacket! I also ate here; the meals are a good value and taste fresh and healthy. The miso soup was incredibly tasty. My new favorite shop in Tokyo!

I recently moved to Kagurazaka and unexpectedly discovered that there is a treasure here. It is said that Akomeya La kagu used to sell furniture, but then the furniture was gone and it was changed to household items. The seasonings here are very rich and the household items are also very exquisite. Many tourists come here. Choose gifts to take back to your friends. It’s more about people like me who live nearby. If I don’t want to cook, I come here to have a sumptuous meal, which only costs 1200-2000 yen. The sense of ceremony and quality are very good. I give this place full marks 💯

Very nice place. A shop with original products following the Japanese tradition on houseware, clothes and food, like the noodles in a very nice packaging. The restaurant seems to have a healthy food but I didn’t try, just took a look at the menu. Outside, the Farmers Market has vegetables and flowers.

From shopping for souvenirs to delicious food, Akomeya is a favorite. If you want to try a Kaiseki meal, go here for a cheap one. Each dish comes in tableware highlighting the rich handicraft traditions of Japan. Each item was carefully prepared and truly satisfying. There are stairs to enter here so I’m not sure if those with accessibility issues can easily go up.

Cute store with a cafeteria and 2 stories of shops selling organic food and clothing, accessories, etc. Nice place to have a cold green tea if you don’t want to pure more calories into your system!

Personally, there's not much to do here. It has a mini grocery / department store and a restaurant café. But I did like the overall architecture of the building.

This is a decent place with some healthy choices. It's very interesting as a store, but as a restaurant there are better choices in the neighborhood. In terms of overall quality, this compares to Otoya but with less selection. Everything is good but nothing is great.
