One week in Tokyo just isn’t enough… hell, one month in Tokyo just isn’t enough. The restaurant-researching obsessed person I am spent months finding everywhere I wanted to eat, but I knew (deep deep DEEP) down I wasn’t going to get to all of them. Until my next trip to Japan, I won’t be able to try these, but if you go, please try them, and PLEASE tell me how they are!
