Eating out in Tokyo

For even the most dedicated or over-indulgent of eaters, each of Tokyo’s numerous cities offer so many restaurants that a lifetime of dining out probably wouldn’t even begin to dent the sheer number of delicacies on offer. A staggering array of options that not only vary wildly in both cost and contents, but also in regards sophistication and surroundings. And needless to say this already vast selection is multiplied into unimaginable numbers when there’s even the merest of mentions of the whole metropolis.

Yet if one has only a minute or two to wolf down some food, or much worse no money, then eating out in Tokyo can take on a very different interpretation.

    If that’t the seafood flavour available in all convenience stores then it tastes better than most pot noodles over here

      Yes, if Pot Noodles aren’t any better than I remember them, then I have to agree.

    I like his footwear. Are toe socks quite common in Tokyo?

      I don’t know how popular they are Hilary, but you can certainly buy them no problem. And then there are traditional tabi socks too.

    I like the obligatory sports daily or racing paper in the back pocket.
