Shichifukujin

15 Best Places to Eat Like a Local in Tokyo | Condé Nast Traveler

"Walk under a hanging nobori curtain, through a dimly lit vestibule, and into Shichifukujin Tamaki, an unpretentious parlor of soba and kaiseki that offers comfort food in a comfortable setting. The restaurant feels like a welcome respite from the rancor of Roppongi—in buckwheat noodle form. Here you'll find a rather traditional approach to Tokyo dining, one that predates the days of extravagant tasting menus or boundary-pushing experimentation. So stick to the classics: soba, miso, and maybe sake or Sapporo." - Brad Japhe
