FRIED CHICKEN IN TOKYO - JAPAN

FRIED CHICKEN IN TOKYO

AKIHABARA, JAPAN

I love Akihabara in Tokyo.  The Electric City is an amazing shopping experience especially if you are into electronics.  At the entrance of my favorite store in the world (Yodobashi Camera) and directly in front of the subway station we found a small shop with seating where Fried Chicken was the specialty.  After a good deal of walking it was nice to sit down here for a light snack.  We shared one small order of Chicken among five people.  Nobody really liked this Chicken.

YODOBASHI 

Enjoyed great fresh Sushi and a fun experience at this Sushi Bar inside the Yodobashi Store in Akihabara.  This place takes Conveyor Belt Sushi to another level.  The interactive touchscreen is amazing and so simple to use.  Just scroll through the pages and pick what you would like to eat.  With a touch of the screen your fresh Sushi arrives via the conveyor belt in minutes or even seconds.  Sushi was delicious here and I would highly recommend this place for a great experience.  We had so much fun here that I would not hesitate to return.

FISH DINNER AT YODOBASHI - JAPAN

FISH DINNER IN AKIBA

YODOBASHI CAMERA 

Yodobashi is an electronics store located in Akihabara or the "Electric City" in Tokyo.  They have an incredible food court located on the 8th floor of this electronics super-duper store.  After making a lap around the food court we opted to try a place that specialized in local fish.  Was not disappointed as this was an excellent meal.  As you enter the dining area you remove your shoes.  Japanese guests were seated at small tables where you sit on the floor.  The Westerners like us got tables where your legs fall into a large opening so you can sit comfortably and not have to cross your legs.  Food and service was excellent.

DINNER AT HOME

Needed to cook up a quick dinner at home using ingredients we had in the fridge.  Went back to an old favorite out of my Bob Warden Pressure Cooker Cookbook.  Had this great tasting meal on the table in 30 minutes and it was delicious.

DINNER AT HOME

Being Ash Wednesday means no meat for the day in this family so I went with a very simple and delicious salad with Grilled Shrimp and Asparagus.  Added a bit of Shaved Parmesan, Cucumbers, Carrots and Bell Pepper along with my favorite Olive Garden Italian Dressing.  Yummy!
