So, I will never tire of the food in Tokyo. The quality of the food here is amazing. This is not a food blog but I did take some pictures of a recent meal we had last week. A friend offered to watch the kids for FREE so we took her up on it and had an early birthday dinner for the husband. He really wanted an American version of a Japanese steakhouse where they cook in front of you and do a little show. We always ate at one of these type restaurants for his birthday when we lived in the US. I told him I doubt he would find that here as they would think it is a slap across the face to insult the Japanese food in such a way. However, he found a Benihana restaurant in Nihonbashi. We went on a Thursday night thinking we could walk right in at 7 but they were BOOKED! The husband was pretty disappointed but thinks to google maps and bento.com we found another Japanese steakhouse nearby. Benihana was added to our ongoing restaurant list and I am sure we will venture there very soon. However, the other restaurant we found was quite delicious and we did not leave disappointed. Whenever we move back to America, whereever we move, we know our palates will come up a bit disappointed because the food in Tokyo is simply outstanding. There is also a picture of a beautiful sushi plate and osetchi plate we had with friends in our building for our New Years Party. With sharing the cost, it was 2000 yen per family, about $20, so not bad for a nice meal of sushi for all of us.

Every time I think about traveling to a specific location, more than half the reason I want to go there is for the food. Can I come visit you in Tokyo? ;)
