Gaijin Gourmet! Awesomely Delicious Udon in Kamiyacho, Tokyo!

I found the one of the best places to eat udon in Tokyo. It is near Kamiyacho station on the Hibiya line. It is very cheap but extremely delicious. The restaurant is named "Takamoto Seimenjyo." It is a udon specialist restaurant. I've been there three times and was impressed every time with the quality of the food, the taste and the very good prices!

Fried Squid and udon with inari (sweet rice ball)
¥620 (about $7.40) for a delicious & healthy meal. 
Can't be beat for the price and tastes delicious!

The basic bowl of udon is ¥280 (about $3.20 US)! That's amazing! 

Show up after 1 pm every weekday and you get a bowl of rice free of charge!

This place ROCKS!

Japan Has Just As Many Michelin Restaurants as France Does!

I have been telling many friends, over the years, that Japan (Tokyo in particular) has some of the best restaurants in the world. Today's news once again confirms this.

From Google

Japan has for the first time drawn level with France in terms of the number of three-Michelin-starred restaurants it can boast, according to the latest Tokyo guide released Wednesday. The 2011 version of the French foodie bible saw 14 eateries in Tokyo get top marks from Michelin, giving Japan a total of 26 of the coveted stars nationwide and putting it neck-and-neck with Michelin's home turf. Tokyo itself managed to keep its status as the world capital of cuisine, according to Michelin, with its 14 three-starred establishments, up from 11 last year, building its lead over Paris, which has just 10.
