I should have found your blog sooner! I feel so dumb passing this by! When I went to Tokyo last, I stayed at the Sunroute Plaza just a few blocks from here! Super Arg!! If you’re planning another trip, take me with you. I’ll need someone to smack me in the head if I pass it over again!

[...] probably one of the weirdest places on earth with its 24-hours jeans stores, flameless candles and restaurants that serve raw chicken but that doesn’t really even scratch the surface. I mean, just wait til I get around to [...]

Love the spread on the table. It looks good. But raw chicken???

I am in the same position as you Ed. I know that to be a vegetarian is good. But I can’t start myself doing that lifestyle.

Oh my god, these picture are looking so amazing!
I would be glad if I were you.
The time in Japan must be very very nice-and the food is looking SO good.
Next time, you have to take me with you

That may be a result of where you’re getting it at. Beef sashimi is no different than a really rare steak and quality beef is key.

I actually read the first post about…eating meat. Don’t eat meat because the Chinese character for meat contains the character for person? Oh man…that’s just about the least convincing thing I’ve ever heard.

There are plenty of good reasons to be a vegetarian but that simply isn’t one of them.

I’ve had raw beef sashimi before and I found it too weird for my taste. I could only imagine how much I’d dislike raw chicken. Some great pics though!

Torigen is by far my favourite restaurant in all of Japan. I go there at least twice every time I am in Tokyo… And now I find that there are like 10 locations in the area!

Chicken tataki is such an amazing an unique experience. If they didn’t use the highest quality, freshest chicken, the dish would be a complete disaster. But as they serve it, it is one of those dishes that you just never forget.

I am also a huge fan of the tsukune (chicken patty skewers). I know you like the wasabi mayo ones, but I am more partial to the miso sauce/raw egg variety. What a perfect combination of taste and texture!
