When I travel I tend to let go of my health conscious eating. I eat more salads than usual and workout double time prior to these trips. As a result, I fly into the city a couple pounds lighter just so I can freely gain a few pounds over the next days of travel. All to I eat carbs, fats, and sugars with no abandon.
Tokyo was certainly no exception. I felt like I ate 5 meals a day, including soba for breakfast from 7-11 (it's so fresh and a clean way to start the day). Every one of these "nibblings" are still ingrained in my head as some fantastically memorable bites.
The handmade ramen noodles from Ramen Street in the Tokyo Station, the tonkatsu and katsudons, curry over rice, fresh sushi and seafood from the department store grocery, a huge piece of karaage from the department store food hall, Korean food with loads of vegetables, Japanese Italian pizza done to perfection, beer beer and more beer, convenience store soba, the tastiest salted caramel crepe, the fluffiest cheesecake, and sinful croissants that are worth all the butter intake.
Whew, I cannot wait to go back to Japan and eat all this and more finds. In the meantime I'll look fondly at these photos and workout for the next big weight-gaining trip.
