Indulge Your Taste Buds with Some of Japan's Best Drinks and Dishes

Eat a Sushi Breakfast at Tsukiji Market

When you talk about Tokyo markets, there is one market that needs to be explored above all the others. Against the odds, it’s a fish market, but trust us when we say it’s more than a bit special. This is, in fact, the largest and busiest fish market in the whole world. While you probably aren’t in town to pick up a bucket of wholesale fish, you should absolutely indulge in one of the stalls that sells breakfast sushi. You can bet your bottom dollar that it will be the freshest sushi of your life.

Indulge Your Inner Carnivore at a Japanese BBQ

There is more to Japanese cuisine than sushi and sashimi, and if you are more of a carnivore and you do not like fish, you need to become well acquainted with the art of Japanese barbecue as soon as possible. Japanese barbecue is known as Yakiniku on the streets, and it’s big news in Japan’s capital city. Nakara is among the best and most popular barbecue restaurants in Tokyo, that serves high quality meat and some unique cuts. The wagyu beef is really great, and their beef tongue is a firm favourite with locals.

Slurp on Ramen Day and Night

Ramen noodles are a famous Japanese dish right over the world, but actually, the first time they appeared on a menu in Japan was only in 1910, and it was actually Chinese cooks in Japan that created the dish. Versions of these soba noodles, wet and dry, spicy and served with handfuls of herbs, are now a staple of Japanese cuisine, and you’ll find heaping bowls of ramen with broth, seafood, meat, veggies, and egg all over Tokyo.

Sample a Green Tea Beer

In a very short space of time in Tokyo, you’ll become aware that the Japanese people are crazy for matcha tea. You can find matcha lattes, matcha cakes, and many other types of matcha goodness. Perhaps the strangest that we have encountered is matcha beer. Well, that’s exactly what you can try at the Matcha Beer Garden. The taste is certainly unique and refreshing, but it takes a few sips to get used to it.

Drink at a Dinosaur Themed Beer Bar!

You love beer – of course you do! You love dinosaurs – err, of course you do? Well, in Tokyo you have the rare opportunity to combine the best of these two worlds in a dinosaur themed beer bar called Beer Saurus (of course that’s what it’s called!). This is more than just a novelty bar, there are actually more than 100 types of beer served up inside, from right across the world. And in a pricey city like Tokyo, the 6-8pm happy hour for half price beers cannot be beaten.
