Tackling the trek to buy some tofu is almost always worth it, however, not only is it more interesting to have someone fetch it for you.
But it may also be more fun.

Food and Drink
Lovely Tokyo lighting
There’s no doubt about it that when it comes to tiny little bars that would be a fire hazard if more than a handful of people happened to be in them, Tokyo isn’t lacking in its selection. Not by a long shot. Or even short, expensive shot.
But even then, there are arguably few with lights as lovely to look at,
as these.
Far from fancy Japanese food
Regardless of whether it’s in a really fancy or more run of the mill restaurant, sharing a plethora of dishes is always a pleasure, as not only is it social, but it also affords a super selection of food.
However, that said, sometimes it’s equally nice to get something more simple, and it doesn’t get any more basic than a load of meat and a lager.

Considering that the Japanese are still, on the whole, noticeably svelte when compared to their cousins in many other countries, food, and a phenomenal amount of it at that, is a huge feature of not only days out, but day to day life itself.
And as every single city, sometimes even street it seems, appears to boast its own famous foodstuff of some form or another, one is never far away from a delicacy to devour, whether it be inside,
outside,
or somewhere in between.
Magnificently proportioned melons
Every year it seems, the media happily mentions the arrival of the season’s first gorgeously un-globe-like members of the gourd family, complete with a picture of several Japanese ladies happily handling a plethora of marvellously proportioned melons.
However, seeing such beauties in the wild as it were is still relatively rare, but they are indeed real,
and really not very round.
