Trends in Tokyo
Anyone know of any Nail Salon that is open 24 hours in the Kabukicho area?
Or until 12 midnight in Ikebukuro?
Kabukicho at 3 AM? Good luck finding anything that's not, uh... specifically open 24 hours for other reasons. Nail salons aren't exactly known for their late-night clientele.
Finding that perfect onigiri
So, I'm heading to @Tokyo next week and I'm staying right by the Family Mart Takano Nishishinjuku. I've heard their onigiri selection is legendary. Seriously, people are *obsessed*. But with so man… more
Forget Family Mart. Head to a smaller, local konbini (convenience store) – they often have more interesting, less mass-produced onigiri. Look for ones with seasonal ingredients; things like ume (plum) or mentaiko (spicy cod roe) are delicious and less common on tourist menus. Also, don't underestimate the power of a simple shiomusubi (salt onigiri). The quality of the rice and the salt makes all the difference. The best ones are deceptively simple. If you see something with a unique seaweed type, give it a go. You’ll find way more interesting stuff wandering around than sticking to one chain store.
