Seabream Ramen

Hangover Helper A light ramen to end your night. You cant have a Tokyo Food Blog without countless ramen posts. This is only my second one and if I went to a different ramen shop every night it would take me 5 years to visit them all. Plus several more years on a dialysis machine after my kidneys just turn to salt. So let's get started with a visit to Tai Shio Soba (Salty sea bream noodles) Touka (name of the place) Where should I eat ramen in Tokyo? Impossible question to answer. A better question is where should I eat ramen in Shinjuku? Or whichever ward you happen to be in. Better yet, just say ramen to your phone and let Siri sort you out.

My favorite wining and dining area in Shinjuku. I say shinjuku because I cant pick one wine and dine area in Tokyo so I choose by Ward. Shinjuku is not the largest of the 23 Wards but it seems like the busiest. It also has all my favorite places. Ralph Steadman fan? Suzushin is run by this man. Who is retiring soon and leaving the running of the business to his son. Think Jiro Dreams of Sushi, but with pork! When we...

Ougisushi, Cheap Sushi by Shinjuku Station

All the pretty colors We've moved to WordPress! Check this post and more at TasteTokyo.com Cheap Sushi Lunch Near Shinjuku Station At some point in your Tokyo travels you will have to deal with Shinjuku Station. This can be pleasant (if you have nowhere in particular to be) or unpleasant (you're running late for work). Some quick fun facts from Wikiepedia Sensei: "Serving as the main connecting hub for rail traffic between Tokyo's special wards and Western Tokyo on inter-city train, commuter rail, and subway lines, the station was used by an average of 3.64 million people per day in 2007, making it, by far, the world's busiest transport hub (and registered as such with Guinness World Records). The station itself has 36 platforms, including an underground arcade, above ground arcade and numerous hallways. There are well over 200 exits. Another 17 platforms (53 total) can be accessed through hallways to 5 directly connected stations without surfacin...
