if you check out those sushi daiwa pix i posted a while back you'll notice i mentioned that some ppl sometimes go there after a night of partying and eat sushi at the crack of dawn for breakfast.....now that would be interesting! at least it would be healthy and light after a night of debauchery.

cuz thing is in tokyo the subway doesn't run 24 hours a day so if you stay out past a certain point (and don't have a car and most don't) you have to stay out until the trains start running again in the early morning.....taxis are super expensive, especially if you have a long ride home. that's why ppl there party like rockstars.

Ahhhhh and that's why, in dramas, they're always running to make the last train. I wondered about that.

I saw those amazing pics! One of my cousins said she found an amazing sushi restaurant near her house. I'm gonna get her to take me there.

yup....one time my friend and i were pretty drunk after drinking in Shibuya and he insisted we could take the train and make it back to our hotel in time.....didn't happen - the train stopped short of our hotel so we had to take a cab the rest of the way.

I agree.

I's spend the entire day there... Screw the parade. :beaten: :hehe:

I can visualize you walking around with a plastic box of gyoza in one hand and chopsticks in the other, with a gleeful smile b/n chews oblivious to those around you.....and a word ballon over your head, "Oishii kore!"

Well 'racer if you ever go to Japan you must check out the Gyoza Stadium....read the article I linked to above you'll get a kick out of it.

Dang, you scared me there for a second. You should at least be getting your veggies in. ALL protein diet will kill your kidney.

Thanks for the concern. :)

I am aware of that, and especially with the amount of alcohol I consume, that can be a bad thing... :hehe:

I do however, manage to get a salad in everyday. (chicken salad)

Tokyo is a foodie town and it's hard not to get a decent meal at any restaurant. :woot: However, if you're looking for a good upscale izakaya, I would recommend En, an izakaya chain with a branch even in NYC. Here's their web page (Google's translation is getting pretty good and cute :D )

For a more comprehensive search go to www.bento.com and look at the tokyo food page.
