as well as demanding,

Recession hit restaurant?

Appearance is often everything in Japan, but it appears that this restaurant may well be suffering from its potential punters hunger to combat the current financial crisis, rather than curb any company or comfort food cravings.

Leisurely Sunday lagers

When feeling weary on a warm day after way too much walking, what better than to park one’s posterior and partake in a couple of pints? Although undoubtedly it’s decidedly more fun for mum and dad than it is for a young daughter.

(Un)controlled convenience?

Old style honesty box-based convenience stores/stalls may not maintain the same mindboggling amount of merchandise as their modern-day models, but providing one has only gone out to get some goya, they are still good.

Frozen Japanese food

When it comes to culinary concoctions, I’m competent at best, and even that meagre boast may well be challenged by those who’ve had the misfortune to tentatively munch on one of my meals.

Yet that said, even if the cupboards were bare apart from a bit of bread, I’d still balk at buying this far from appealing frozen feast of ham and egg.

A lousy looking lunch that arguably takes laziness, or indeed a total lack of talent, to new levels of lowness. Although it does, to be fair, save itself somewhat with that succulent soupçon of spinach.
