Here are some of
the must-have foods when in Tokyo:
1.
Edo-mae Sushi – The first words that come to
mind when thinking of Japan, and one of the many to leave a lasting taste.
Nigirizushi; consists of raw seafood hand-pressed onto rice, is one of the most
popular types of sushi available having been developed in the streets of Tokyo
as fast-food by Hanaya Yoshi. Revel in
the experience of conveyer belt sushi at sushi bars such as Numazuko Ginza,
which now accept cryptocurrency as payment!
2.
Monjayaki – A pan fried savory pancake with
ingredients such as chopped vegetables and seafood, Monja originated in the
Tsukishima area, and is so popular that there’s an entire street of the same
name serving this food! If you enjoy the experience of cooking your own meal,
hope on by to Monja street and try this out !
3.
Ramen – Shoyu, Shio, Miso, Kare. From a choice
of four broths and multiple ingredients, this Chinese adapted dish is one of
Japan’s most versatile and ubiquitous meals. No travel to Tokyo is complete
without tucking into one of these perennial dishes, available in casual diners,
izakayas, karaoke halls and even in Tokyo Station’s underground Ramen Street.
4.
Tempura –
Derived from the Latin word Tempora , this deep fried dish charts its humble
origins in Nagasaki; later refined in Tokyo to include meat, in addition to the
seasonal vegetables that made up the original ingredients. Specialized
restaurants, known as Tempura-ya guarantee a sumptuous experience, and no
tempura can be enjoyed without tentsuya sauce on the side.
5.
Soba – Japanese for buckwheat noodles, Soba is a
cherished artisanal favorite that is best enjoyed noisily. Another example of a
perennial dish, Soba can be served with a near infinite variety of ingredients,
both hot and cold, prepared with a level of craftsmanship that is incredibly
complex. Tokyo food would be sorely lacking without the inclusion of this dish,
and you’d be hard pressed to find a Tokyo restaurant that doesn’t serve this.
