A Guide To Tokyo's
Best Restaurants
In October, I got to live out a lifelong fantasy of mine: going to Tokyo. And let me tell you, it was everything I imagined it to be. Cutesy Japanese voices squeaking out the speakers of every random bits & bobs store, tiny sushi bars, the wildest street style and Hello Kitty everything! I'd especially been excited about trying Japanese cuisine, from udon noodles and ramen to wagyu beef and yakitori, and OMG it did not disappoint - shocker.
What was on the menu?
Lentil soup
Veggie mezze of falafels, cheese bourek, houmous, yoghurt, olives, pickles and radishes
Chicken and apricot tagine, aubergine tagine, butter beans in a red sauce, fatoush salad, rice
Walnut baklava in sticky syrup
Last May I took my lovely little mum to Rome for her birthday. She’s a devout Catholic and I’m a devout PIG so I thought: where better to take the old dear for three days?.. Exactly.
