Breakfast in Tokyo for us is not fish and rice, but eggs, pancakes and all the good stuff we crave from home. Nothing wrong with some fish and soup, but when you are craving a hometown breakfast we recommend this list of restaurants. The options for breakfast and bunch continue to increase in Japan, and we continue to try new locations. Critical is that the restaurants open early (before 9:00) – almost all do on this list. Good Morning and enjoy your breakfast in Tokyo.
