What are the odds that I would get to meet my classmate while in Tokyo? As it turns out, the odds were very high indeed. L and I realized that we were both going to be in Tokyo at the same time and hence we agreed to meet up for lunch. Continue reading

I confess that before going to Tokyo, I had no idea that Bills existed. Neither was I aware that it had been billed as the “best breakfast in the world” nor was I aware that it was somewhat of a phenomenon in Tokyo that people would literally queue up for hours just to have a taste of their pancakes and/or scrambled eggs.

J enjoys molecular gastronomy meals, as our previous visit to Labyrinth attests. While researching on places to eat in Tokyo, I came across Tapas Molecular Bar, which has received 1 michelin star in the last two years. After reading a few blog posts, I was convinced that J would love this place. As it turns out, this turned out to be the most entertaining meal we had in Tokyo, and also the most expensive 🙂

Prior to my visit to Tokyo, I had read a lot of blog posts on Afuri and its yuzu based ramen. Even my friends living in Tokyo had concurred on how good Afuri was.

Hence, when I found out how affordable the lunch menu at Joël Robuchon Tokyo was, I jumped at the opportunity. It was also a plus that the Tokyo restaurant has been awarded two michelin stars.

Originally, I had planned to visit Maisen for my tonkatsu fix in Tokyo. I had planned to get there once it opened (11am), which would minimize any wait time and make it easier for me to navigate any language barriers. Continue reading

The recent trip to Tokyo was quite a last minute decision. Everything did not really become confirmed till about one month prior to our departure. Usually, this would have been fine. However, when it came down to picking places to eat, I knew that this would make reservations at certain restaurants a little difficult to get. Recall: my previous visit to Fujiya 1935 in Osaka required a two month advanced booking. Continue reading
