Narisawa, an unforgettable meal.
Omoide Yokocho for yakitori and beer.
Den's Dentucky Fried Chicken box, so fun.
Sushi Dai moved to Toyosu, still a long line.
Tonkatsu Maisen, best katsu sando.
Ichiran is great for solo dining.
Afuri yuzu ramen, lighter and amazing.
Fuunji tsukemen, worth the queue.
