Japan Eats

With its terrace looking out over the Sumida River, Cafe Meursault has to be one of the best places to while away a warm afternoon.

This much I know to be true.

@briandotjp Oh contraire @briandotjp

@AussieinJapan Boobies is a local favourite. And yes, that’s exactly how it’s pronounced.

@theprovenance Hope they don't give you too much grief at Narita. The whole arrivals process can be exhausting.

I just booked flights to Tokyo.

Lunch in Nakano. How this is only ¥1,100 I’ll never know. But my god, how good is this?!

@usagi_matto I strongly advise you to buy a different brand. That paccheri tends to break into small pieces regardless of cooking time.

😝

Updated my ‘Foodie guide to eating in the Tokyo metropolis’ with rankings across 30 categories and new top places for ramen, bakery and sandwiches. Let me know if I’ve missed someplace in my endless Tokyo journey. instagram.com/dkc912/guide/f…

Friend's wife works in a #Tokyo restaurant that doesn't follow any state of emergency rules & serves booze late. 3 workers tested positive, but owner won't notify gov't and continues biz as usual. Some staff have quit. This is just 1 anonymous eatery. How many are doing the same?

Olympics may be over, but it’ll take at least another month for me to not scream if someone mentions a conbini egg sandwich again.

Not a bad list, although Pizzeria Ciro in Higashi Nakano also deserves to be on there. timeout.com/tokyo/restaura…
