Tokyo Food Adventures

Here's a day on our plate.

Breakfast is a concoction of traditional Japanese foods, we had fun learning what they are thanks to our waiter and Google translate. I'm rating them. So fun and fermented.

There are vending machines at least every 100ms. I'm not exaggerating. Down back alleys, main streets, subways... everywhere! The drinks are cheap and the boys have nearly made their way through most of them. Turns out Boss Coffee is Japanese?!

On the topic of drinks, the tea is POWDERED. It's the tea version of International Roast, but as gross as that sounds (sorry mum), is pretty nice. Where we had lunch, there's an uncovered hot water tap right on the bench in front of you for the sole purpose of making your tea (or burning your arm). Paulie also had a go at some street meat. Verified fricken delicious by Noah. I'll be verifying tomorrow 😅

Then, we had our first proper ramen experience. The chef makes the noodles by hand and cooks them right before dropping them into your bowl. There are two types of broth, then you grab your tempura things and boom! Omg. Delicious. Like a big warm hug for your belly.

Then our evening ritual is to call into 711 to buy some random weird snacks to review; suffice it to say, there are some weird flavour combos!Read more
