Although steaks are not unique to only Japan, their take on hamburg steak is quite refreshing. To give you a good example of this, we visited Stone Burg in Kawasaki's Lazona.

Yokocho in Ebisu is Foodie Paradise
Having gone to a great bar just last week in Ebisu, we felt compelled to make our way back. This time instead of just focusing on drinks, we waiting to hit it all in one fell swoop at Yokocho, a small food district there. I had heard wonderful things in the past so it was time to put those...
Cheap Hot Pot Place With a Great View
If you haven't already figured it out, we are a huge fan of Minto Mirai's World Porters. The reason is simple. They just have a lot of places to eat at a reasonable price. Today on the menu is hot pot (shabu shabu) at a place called Shabu-Yo. I'll start off by saying that lunch will cost you between...
Temma Curry A Handful of Golden Deliciousness
Temma Curry has a bustling front window where employees in large chef hats dish out tons of delicious curry pan to hungry customers. Deciding to avoid the extremely hot summer weather, and busy crowds, I head into the cafe where the curry bread is made. The shop itself has a strong french design influence, and would feel at home in...
Use a bed instead of a table at Chano-Ma cafe
Chano-ma is a cozy place right inside the famous Red Brick Building near Sakuragicho. In place of standard dining tables, they offer comfy cozy beds which you can sprawl out on while you eat (although it isn't recommended for a healthy digestion). The menu is nothing to wave off either. I had an excellent beef stew which comes with a...
This Japanese Pudding Has A Cute Way into Pudding
While in Nagoya station we stopped by a cute little cafe called Cafe Gentiane: Pyorin, famous for their chick pudding. Although at first we felt guilty about plunging a metal utensil through this adorable delight, after having a taste we were without regrets. These little babies are delicious, and the layers of frosting, and pudding before making your way to...

Capcom Bar Lets You Game While You Drink
Themed cafes and bars is what we love. So it's no surprise after our visit to the Tokyo Ghoul Cafe that we would show up here at the Capcom Bar, located in Shinjuku. Inside the cafe you can see lots of famous characters. We decided to seat ourselves in the gaming area. While you wait for your food (or afterwards), you...
APizza Brings You Tasty Pizza For Around 5 Bucks
500 yen coin Pizza has been on our hit list for a while, and APizza in Tokyo's suburban Ikebukuro, was just the cure. APizza delivers an array rectangular brick oven pizzas, apparently inspired by the style you may see in Manhattan New York. As for being similar to Manhattan style though, we beg to differ. APizza is a smaller pizza...
Wanna Come To My Place For Karaage?
Izakaya's (Japanese pubs) are far from lacking in Japan. I mean what's there to hate? The menus are packed with a variety of dishes and drinks. Their usually are big crowds with friendly people and typically the service is quite good. We got all that and a bag of chips at a place called "Orenchikuru?" literally meaning "Wanna come...
