Done it! I've finally eaten out (Mister Donut doesn't count). I'd noticed this place before, the pictures of the pork ramen looked enticing, so went in on the spur of the moment. Perhaps I shouldn't have just eaten a bag of pea snap crisps ...
It went relatively smoothly. The waitress (with face mask😷, not uncommon in Tokyo) pointed at the machine by the door. So having inserted my ¥1000 note (about £7) I selected Set Meal A. Out popped a ticket which I gave to her. All good so far. She sat me at the bar along the window, next to 2 young Japanese guys. There was a nice big jug of iced water just in front of one of them, handy because I hadn't ordered a drink, so I filled a glass and sat down. Then the waitress brought me my jug of iced water. Thus I blunder my way around Tokyo!Read more

The gyozo dumplings were beautifully flavoursome and delicate. Just yum!

Set Meal A: rice, pork broth (tonkotsu) ramen, gyozo. Tasty, but I'd completely over-ordered!
