Haha. Right on, man. Dude I have so many more pics!
This is one of three sushi meals I ate in Tokyo.
My Japanese friend who lives in Tokyo was gracious enough to treat me to this lunch because I treated her for a sushi meal days prior (I'll post those pics later).
This was at Fukuzushi in Roppongi. Omg, so freaking fresh and delicious.
Chawanmushi
Yuzushu (Yuzu Sake...I mean come on YUZU Sake...I was in love!)
Misoshiru
Nigirizushi
Ended the meal with the BEST DAYEM DONBURI I'VE EATEN IN MY LIFE. PERIOD!
This was such an extravagant, lavish experience it will be forever imprinted as an indelible memory.
The freshness and taste were absolutely superlative! This was a rice bowl layered with, ikura, honmaguro (wild bluefin tuna) and topped with a creamy piece of uni and freshly grated wasabi root. O. M. G. This was extraordinary!!!!

Here's a flood of one of my favorite meals of the entire trip. The best yakitori I've ever eaten...so good I came here again after eating here for the first time last year. Fuku Yakitori in Yoyogi-uehara, Tokyo.
Shirako (fish milt/soft roe)
Namako ponzu (sea cucumber in ponzu)
Smoked Takuan (smoked daikon pickles....so much better than regular takuan, delicious!)
Broccoli, shimeji mushrooms, anchovy and garlic
Bonjiri (chicken tail)
Gingko Nuts
Zuri (gizzard)
Kokoro (chicken heart)
Shishito Peppers with sweet miso sauce
Salt grilled oysters (fresh briny plump bivalves from the sea)
Bacon wrapped enoki mushrooms
Salt grilled salmon belly (Salmon belly! Unctuous, soft, and fatty! Awesome!)
Bacon wrapped tomatoes
Bacon wrapped Japanese bell peppers stuffed with melted cheese (foodgasm!)
Ninniku (Garlic slathered in miso)
Mushrooms stuffed with ground chicken
Grilled onions, caramelized and oh so sweet
Seseri (Neck meat with diced leeks)
Tori nankotsu (chicken breast cartilage)
Tori motsu (chicken giblets with natto and shaved leeks)
Mochi wrapped in bacon and nori (this was first...epiphany! so dayem good!)
Chicken liver
Kashiwa (perfectly salt-grilled chunks of chicken meat!)
The DAMAGE - a million skewers later and perhaps 15 or so glasses of umeshu later (which is plum wine...we literally finished one of the types of plum wine they had on the drink menu! No joke). Note to all. Don't eat with a hella cute petite Japanese chick that can eat as much as you and drink with you glass for glass if you don't got cash. LOL.
Cost: over 25,000 YEN. Approx $250 dollars.
PS Sorry a few of these pics were posted earlier but I wanted to post the yakitori pics as a unified meal. I can delete the previous photos if necessary.

WHOA.
It's the alcohol. Alcohol at restaurants can be quite expensive. You can eat a delicious bowl of ramen at a ramen shop for 900 to 1000 yen which is quite reasonable. Order a beer and it can literally run you 600 or 700 yen which nearly doubles the price of the meal. Kinda crazy.
While eating at the yakitori restaurant we kept drinking round after round of umeshu(plum wine). They had three different kinds: brandy-based umeshu, whisky-based, and shochu-based. We drank so much they actually RAN OUT of the brandy-based one for the night. LOL. Freaking hilarious...
We actually felt kinda bad thinking that if someone else wanted to order that particular drink they were out of luck.

Tried this awesome shrimp-based broth ramen...something you could never find here in the States.
They must have used every shrimp in the sea to make this broth because there was an incredible aroma that we could smell as we wandered around trying to find this tucked away shop in Shinjuku.
The broth was incredibly rich, like a shrimp bisque. But the uniqueness doesn't stop there. This shop also offers freshly made pesto which you can add to your broth to brighten up the flavor and offset the richness with a lively herbaceous note. Smelled amazing and tasted equally good.
