best late night diner near route 9 in Tokyo 2026?
Route 9's still open till 5am on weekends, but the pancakes got smaller and pricier since 2024, so I'd hit the Omotesando branch instead.
Second this, the pancakes changed when they switched batter supplier
Shinjuku branch, after 2am when the drunks clear out
went downhill after they dropped the pancake set
yeah the set gone is the real loss, the solo stack they push now at like 1400 yen just isnt teh same value
Aoyama branch better, opens 11am
11am is brunch though, the whole point was stumbling in at 3am for a stack
omotesando gets packed after last train though, like 12:30 onwards theres a wait. if u want quiet go before midnight or just do takeout from the counter. still better batter than the other one tbh
the weekend 5am thing only holds fri & sat btw, sun they pull the shutters around 1. weeknights it's midnight-ish so dont roll in at 3 on a tuesday expecting pancakes
smaller stack is real but the butter they use now tastes cheaper too, that's what killed it for me
Best pastries near Sweet Lab in Tokyo 2026
Higuma Donuts on Takeshita, go before 9.
the matcha old fashioned is the real order there
agreed, but get it fresh out of the fryer if u can, they tray them up around 8:30 and the glaze sets better. cold ones go chewy fast, especially in summer humidity.
Second this, weekday mornings are dead quiet.
worth the detour but heads up they close tuesdays, learned that the hard way. if the line's already snaking past the corner just bail and hit the little bakery two blocks toward Meiji Jingu instead, their anpan holds up fine.
That backup spot's anpan is fine but their shokupan sells out before noon, so grab a loaf if u see one.
Grab it sliced if they offer, otherwise a whole loaf goes stale by day three unless you freeze half. They also do a small shokupan loaf on Fridays that goes faster than the regular one.
yeah before 9 is key, by 10 the line's out the door. fwiw their kuromitsu one is underrated, everyone just grabs the glazed. cash only btw, no cards
Nine is already pushing it on a Saturday, I'd aim for 8:15 if you want to eat one warm on the bench outside. Also they're closed when it rains hard, which nobody warns you about.
Cash only and they shut the shutters once the batch runs out, so early really means early.
