Photos of some good meals

Eating out in Tokyo on your own finances? Schoolboy error (even at the current exchange rate).

Mate, you need to go to these places with the chaps from your company's local office - they'll pay for everything with the company credit cards

I'm self employed and avoiding being the one to take the locals out on a jolly.

Sin, here is an english link for a really good Izakaya (like a japanese tapas bar) place we went to a couple of times in Tokyo. Lots of good food and very wallet friendly. It is a chain so there are a couple of different locations.

Doma-Doma

The trouble with Tokyo is that the places you are likely to walk into off the street are the most expensive. Upper floor or basement places are usually the better deal.

Shoya am Roecklplatz does Teppan Yaki right here in Munich. Lovely.

Kitsune-udon with Amazake and green tea: €5,75 at Kiyomi-zu



Amazake is a non-alcoholic rice wine thick with ginger. Very strong!

Chirashi. Me like.

You're an awful man Sin, posting these at lunchtime.

Here, this should help quell your appetite: Shiokara.



The spring onions are fine. It's the raw fish liver that ain't.

I've eaten 4 bags of wasabi nuts, and the fifth bag I'm now dunking in my travel jar of Marmite to try to get rid of the aftertaste.

A couple of pics from Japan.


Sushi


Teppanyaki chicken

I made a New Orleans Muffaletta sandwich last night. http://cdn-4.vtourist.com/k/1/3809574.jpg

Simple & delicious.

crab cakes in the Halong Bay on the boat. Dim sum with white rose, and Seafood noodles with a seafood starters. Never paid more than 4 Euro a meal with a drink in Vietnam.

Yum. Pfandl at the Hacker-Pschorr Bräu or whatever the hell it's called now.

Steak & spuds at Rusticana. Top notch!

Wahay, crubeens!
