Made it. If I have one useful piece of information about the Tokyo subway to pass on it's this. It's not like London where trains are tied to lines, so unless you actively change train you will stayLeggi altro

An ongoing 'Tokyo food' footprint ... erm, foodprint?
I need to work on fruit and veg, I'm probably managing 1.5 per day thanks to lunchtime bananas.

Google translate offered 'pebbly corn stick'. I thought it might be sweetcorn pizza, but it was sweetcorn mayonnaise on bread. Not my greatest success!

Bunka Hostel bento box ¥780 which is about £5.50. Really good value and tasty too 😃

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