Yelp Review 2023 #311:
Japan is foodie and culture heaven. I stayed in Ginza while in Tokyo and this place was within walking distance from the hotel I was staying at. Ginza Mitsukoshi is a department store with about 16 floors. I went here for all the food!
The lowest floor is parking, the 2 floors above it are bike parking and food; the middle floors are for clothes, accessories, makeup, fragrances, baby/ children's clothes and accessories, home furnishings, a salon, bridal stuff, an aquarium, duty free, etc with some cafes sprinkled on certain floors.
The only floors I cared to really check out were the top 2 floors where they have all the food. They pretty much much have everything: grilled food, fried food, fresh fruits (shine muscat grapes, perfect strawberries, yubari melon worth $150 each), sushi, dumplings, cheese, pasta, kimchi, mochi, scones, breads and pastries, matcha, yakitori...OMG! I wanted to get everything! Some of the food are in glass cases as if they're jewelry. It can get overwhelming so brace yourself!
I grabbed a scoop pumpkin gelato and a scoop of matcha gelato from the cafe on the 9th floor, a box of sushi, yakitori and green tea from the top 2 floors for- for breakfast. And I got some food to take home with me. Everything was fantastic! The sushi was fresh and properly made, the yakitori was grilled nicely, and even the pumpkin gelato was surprisingly good.
Every counter has 2-3 employees to help customers. The transaction was quick and effortless. They take credit cards but I had coins I needed to get rid of so, I paid with cash,
You can easily spend hours here and lose track of time.
