Naka-Okachimachi station).These two areas are the antithesis of the riches of Ginza or the upper-class tilt of the Azabu-Juban areas, but I like them for their energy that comes from the crowds passing through in search of bargains and obscure merchandise.
I'll talk more about these areas in future posts, but I'll share a few photos of just a few restaurants in those areas.
Yesterday after getting a haircut in QB House (a no-frills chain sort of like Super Cuts) for exactly 1000 yen, I headed right across the street to a place, Uogashi Nihon Ichi, that has fantastic sushi at lunch for an extremely reasonable 1000 yen. 12 pieces, chawan-mushi custard, and miso soup, with the sushi extremely fresh and an anago (unagi-like fish) strip that was three times the size of the other sashimi ...
The other two snapshots are a) the personal favorite of my family, Pepper Steak, which offers beef and rice served on a sizzling iron skillet -- cheap, fast, but delicious, and 2) doner kebab
sandwiches, which have finally hit Japan. I personally haven't tried it yet, but there was a line of about 3 or 4 people when I passed by. I think the Akihabara bargain seekers (I was one of them!) are starting to recognize how convenient they are, and a good value (better in some ways than a deluxe hamburger at a McDonalds or Lotteria!).KingKebab, click here.
