Trends in Tokyo
Yodobashi Fourth's Lunch?
I'm heading to @Tokyo next month and my cousin's kid goes to Yodobashi Dai Yon Shogakko – that's what she calls it, anyway. Apparently, the school lunches are legendary. Seriously, she won't shut up… more
Hah, school lunches in Japan are a whole other level. My niece raves about hers too – apparently, they get stuff like real grilled fish, not the processed patties we're used to. Yodobashi Fourth's reputation precedes it, so your cousin's kid isn't exaggerating. They're usually made in-house, emphasizing seasonal ingredients and local produce. Expect a lot of attention to presentation too; it's not just about nutrition, it's about the whole experience. Getting a menu photo will be tricky – maybe try politely asking the school office? Worth a shot, you never know. Good luck with your "research"!
Finding Peace in Matsunoki?
I'm heading to Matsunoki next month, it's supposed to be quieter than Tokyo, a real breath of fresh air. I've heard it's incredibly peaceful, but I'm worried about finding good, authentic ramen shop… more
Matsunoki's a bit of a sleepy town, yeah. Peace and quiet are definitely its thing. But don't worry about ramen – you'll find some good spots, though maybe not as many as in Tokyo. Look for smaller places, away from the main roads. Often, the best food is tucked away where the locals eat. Convenience store noodles are a last resort, my friend. You’ll be fine. Just wander around a bit and you'll stumble upon something tasty, I bet.
