Where to find Vintage Avenue in Tokyo 2026
There's a small Vintage Avenue branch on the second floor near Koenji's north exit, above the yakitori place. mostly 80s and 90s stuff, mens jackets in the back left corner. prices are a bit higher than the Koenji average, like 4000 to 6000 for decent pieces. heads up they close at 7 and are shut on Wednesdays
back rack mens flannels run small, size up
that second floor spot moved to a bigger unit on the same street last spring, so the yakitori landmark is stale
the one in Shimokitazawa off the south exit is mostly womenswear but the back rack has decent mens flannels, prob 3000 yen each
yeah those flannels are solid but check the sleeve length, a lot of them are cropped for the japanese market
Cropped sleeves are the norm here, so check the cuff hits your wrist bone before committing.
Sizing runs small on those flannels so try before buying, and the shop sits a couple doors past the Uniqlo on the ichibangai side.
Agreed on trying things on, but the ichibangai branch you're describing is women's only now, they moved the men's stock out last year. For guys it's worth the ride to the Nishi-Ogikubo shotengai shop instead, quieter and better racks.
best donuts near The Donut Shop in Tokyo 2026
honestly the matcha white choco seasonal is worth trying once but its real sweet so split it w someone. if u want a backup spot, the little kissaten two blocks down on the side street does a decent old fashioned cake donut for like 280 yen. plain glazed still wins tho imo
Matcha white choco is a once-a-season thing for me too, that sweetness builds after two bites. That kissaten's old fashioned is solid but cash only, I got caught out last month with just my Suica. Which side street are you thinking of, the one off the shotengai?
go early for that old fashioned too, they stop frying around noon & the case goes stale by 3
wait they do an old fashioned? i only ever got coffee there. is it on teh counter or do u have to ask? cash only is a pain but 280 is a steal
the seasonal ones rotate too fast to bother with tbh, stick to the plain glazed or the kinako if they have it. i usually grab mine before 9 since the fryer batch is freshest then & the line on the weekend is brutal
Agree on the before 9 tip, though I'd say the weekend line moves faster than it looks since they pre-box the glazed.
Pre-boxing only helps if you're buying plain glazed, ask for kinako on a Sunday and you're still waiting while they box it fresh.
yeah before 9 is the move, kinako sells out first tho so grab that before the glazed
Kinako's the one that surprises people, way more interesting than the glazed imo. Only thing is it goes dry by afternoon so morning really is the move, not just for the fryer batch.
weekend line backs up past the vending machine by 10, so 9 is already pushing it
