A BBQ place where the smoke from the cooking has caked on the ceiling and the lucky cat.
Delicious though.
An unassuming spot in wintry weather, but the best takoyaki we've had.
A restaurant for all things including takoyaki and the freshest wasabi I've had.
Okonomiyaki
In the heart of Tsukiji
Shinjuku branch of this sushi bar
I made a daytrip from Tokyo to Nikko to see the Kegon waterfall. Unfortunately I picked the most misty day and saw nothing. But at least I had a meal.
My first visit to Nobu was in Tokyo where I thought would be the best place to sample the Peruvian-Japanese fusion rather than the outposts elsewhere in the world. It was a very expensive meal, with high quality produce nonetheless. It was the famous miso black cod that lured me the most and indeed it was clearly the most sublime and remarkably delicious umami dish on the menu and one of the best dishes I'd ever had.
Since then I've had the copycat versions in many other places, including a better fatty tuna belly (ootoro) version in Fujiyoshi (http://eatlikeushi.posthaven.com/fujiyoshi-japan-01-2012). But I'll always credit Nobu will introducing the dish to me.
Located in the department store area of Roppongi.
