Tokyo: Family brunch at Denny’s in Ginza

Denny's in Tokyo

I met Rieko more than 10 years ago, when I did an internship in Japan. Rieko went to college in California, so her English is very good. She was therefore assigned the glorious task of taking care of me (ha ha), and we soon found out that we had a lot of things in common.

We’ve kept in touch since then, and whenever I’m in Japan, I try to see her. A lot of things have happened since our lunch at Ichimishin in Hamamatsu last year, and Rieko is now married and has a little baby girl, Saki. Fancy restaurants were therefore out of the question this time. Instead, we decided to meet for brunch at good old family friendly Denny’s in Ginza.

Denny’s is an American restaurant chain, but the menu in Japan has been adapted to Japanese palates, and it’s a popular place to go for families with kids. As you can see in the photos below, the food is very different from the food  at Denny’s in the States. Denny’s in Japan also has call buttons at the tables and a smoking section, to make it even more appealing to the Japanese diners. You can see photos of what we had below.

Tokyo is one of my favorite cities in Asia, and a place I keep coming back to. It’s the kind of city that never feels finished. There’s always a new restaurant to try, a different neighborhood to explore, another tiny café tucked away on a side street.What I love most is the mix of modern and traditional. You can start your day at a centuries old temple and end it in a sleek high rise with floor to ceiling views. In between, there’s ramen in Shinjuku, sushi in Ginza, yakitori in a narrow alley, and pastries in Daikanyama that rival anything in Paris.Tokyo is a city of neighborhoods, each with its own vibe, and I plan most of my days around what and where to eat next. I blog about my favorite restaurants, cafes, markets, and areas to explore. The places I go back to, and the ones I think you shouldn’t miss.
