Alhough Tokyo got 191 stars at the first evaluation of Michelin guide book, I strongly believe that the best food you can get in Tokyo exists in popular restaurants and bars. What I miss abroad is always those kinds of food and when I come back home I go to one of my favorite "izakaya" together with intimate friends.
The important thing is that you don't have to pay much, maybe 20 or 30 US dollors, then you can have the best curinaly experiences with superb food, atmosphere and service.
Itadaki-masu! and
Kanpai!
