Dining
in Tokyo | Eating and drinking in Japanese style
Tokyo has an incredible variety
of eating and drinking establishments totalling almost 200,000
restaurants and bars catering to a region(Kanto) that homes almost
20 million people. Any comprehensive Tokyo restaurant guide would
be out of date before it was complied and published. So, we can
only provide a humble introduction. In
Tokyo you can experience the finest, first class (two, three and
four star) restaurants in the world. And then there are the truly
traditional Japanese dining experiences:
Ryotei, the very formal, traditional Japanese cultural dining
experience. Also, look for the countless Izakaya, the informal
Japanese pub style of eating, highly recommended!
And then there is the overwhelming amount of fast food joints, both Western and
Japanese. No trip to Japan should overlook experiencing Japanese deluxe-convenience
stores: the Konbini eating experience, where you can buy almost
anything from these stores and they are open 24 hours day -not your regular western
7-Eleven store!
Almost all daily life in the city of Tokyo revolves around the train
and subway stations! Therefore check out the eating establishments in,
directly outside or near a train or subway Station - we also recommend the street
style Yatai eating stalls. And do not forget to visit the large
department store's food courts, usually in the basement of the building, called Depato.
Last, but not least, you have to experience Kaiten Sushi - the
original Japanese conveyor belt dining experience, along with the Vending
Machine eating experience - there are 1000's of vending machines in
Tokyo and some vending machines could provide soup to dessert. Have a stand-up
picnic on a street corner in Tokyo :-)
Enjoy!
In our eating and drinking section called Dining in Tokyo we have created a directory
listing of dining establishments in Tokyo(coming soon). In each listing we provide
an introduction, list all contact details, include photos of the restaurant and
a few of their dishes. Also included is a street map with directions which use
the nearest train/subway station as a point of reference.
In our section we have magazine-style articles written
by native Tokyoites.
To help you express and communicate your order at a restaurant or when buying
food at a market or shop we have included .
