In less than twelve hours, I'm off to Japan.
I hope to make a few entries whilst I'm gone but otherwise do keep yourselves amused with the GrabYourFork archives. Why not relive the memories of my last trip to Japan in 2004 (still unfinished but ahh... oh well).
See you in two weeks.
Happy feasting.
You know I will be :)
Please Enjoy the Ramen on my behalf!! *jealous*
ReplyDeleteHave a great time! I went on a self made eating tour of Tokyo recently and I can really recommend the Iron Chef restaurants. La Rochelle in Shibuya (Iron Chef French Sakai) has lunch for about $55 for 6 courses. Kaishoku Michiba in Ginza has lunch for about $45-$50 for 4 courses.

ReplyDeleteNot sure if you'll be in Kyoto during your trip, but I heartily recommend Tagoto (http://www.kyoto-tagoto.co.jp/index-e.html) for a reasonably priced kaiseki.
I'm living in Tokyo at the moment, and have been meaning to check out the Iron Chef restaurants for a while. Looking forward to seeing what you think.
