When trying to choose a restaurant in Japan, it is not like in Manila where you can go to a Japanese restaurant and find all the kinds of Japanese food all in one place. In Japan, most of the restaurants specialize in one kind of thing so it will either be a tempura, unagi, ramen, soba, shabu shabu, etc etc restaurant. So there are times where it is difficult to choose a place that will please a big group of people
Rice Bowl and Soba
Unagi
Tonkatsu – this restaurant was recommended by our friend Mykie who studies and lived in Japan. This is no ordinary tonkatsu because it uses the highest grade of pork – KURUBOTA PORK
Ramen
and gyoza!
Soba – this restaurant had quite an assortment and it had soba to go with mostly everything. They show how the noodles are made outside the restaurant to attract customers
What was nice about this place was that they showed the calorie count of every dish in the menu
Only in Japan!! We normally see photos in the menu, in Japan, you can actually see mock ups of the dishes which look almost real from afar! So this helps us tourists since we can’t speak Japanese, we just point when we order! 🙂
