Tokyo is an international place in the truest sense of the term. Japanese restaurants are highly esteemed all around the globe for their incredible cuisine and high quality drinks, so it seems an entire sea of delicacies for a true gourmet to plunge into. Yes, a real sea, because it?s the seafood that the Japanese cuisine is all about. Lobsters, crabs, shrimps, salmon and exotic kinds of fish are on every Tokyo chef?s menu as well as the invariable rice.
There is such amount of restaurants in Tokyo that you can easily lose your way trying to make out which one to visit first.
Slowly but surely, Japanese food has worked its way to the hearts of millions of people from the world. Undoubtedly, you can find an ample choice of your favorite sushi and rolls which you consume every Saturday in a small pseudo-Asian restaurant round the corner of your place, but savoring the real taste of the real sushi is a luxury you simply must allow yourself. Dining out in an authentic Japanese restaurant is worth an experience.
You can indulge your tummy by visiting either on of Japanese cuisine restaurants or, say, Thai or Indian food restaurant as well.
One of the famous Japanese restaurants is a two-levels Andy?s Shin Hinomoto located in the Yurakucho area of Tokyo. Though being a thoroughly Japanese restaurant, Andy?s Shin Hinomoto is owned by a one hundred percent Brit Andy, who buys all of his seafood and vegetables in a supermarket in Tsukiji area. Despite the fact that the restaurant is owned by an Englishmen, the Japanese office workers love it for its sophisticated menu featuring sashimi, grilled fish, tempura, sautéed vegetables, deep-fried chicken, tofu, salad and lots of other traditional Japanese specialty. The English language menu is always close at hand.
If you are looking for a fairly cheap Tokyo restaurant with sushi, sashimi, rolls, Japanese noodles, soup and tofu on menu, you should get down to a basement of a long building in Ginza area where they have a vast variety of extra inexpensive restaurants with traditional Japanese food. We recommend that you go to a place called Fukusuke ? a small Japanese restaurant in a secret hideaway from Tokyo noon-to-one hustle. The place always has an outside counter with what?s-on-menu daily update and you can have your lunch including soup, sushi, Japanese pickles and tea for only $8.50.
But if you are looking for something different from Japanese food, a Mai Thai restaurant seems like a right place for you to dine out in. You shall start feeling the unique atmosphere of this place while still standing outside. The good thing about this experience is that you won?t be disappointed once you are inside. The inside décor of the restaurant is enough to mislead you believing you are not in Tokyo anymore, but in a far away capital of Thailand, Bangkok, and to top it all you?ll find a typical Thai vehicle ? tuk-tuk ? parked outside the restaurant and ready to take you back to your hotel. The flavor of the dishes is exactly that of what they serve in Thailand, and the menu list is many pages long.
