Komae - Best Yakitori Place in Japan

If you ever go to Komae, off the Odakyu line, check out the restaurants.  Surprisingly this place has one of the best foods in Japan.  Thai, Korean, Chinese, Shabu Shabu, and this Yakitori place.  It`s actually quite famous.  (I forgot the name, I will post later).  All i have to say is wow.  I`ve eaten many yakitori places before, but nothing beats this. 


Shimokitazawa - Dude Hair Cut.

Dudes... go get your haircut ;)


Shimokitazawa - Mickey Shirt

In case you didn`t quite understand Mickey`s sign language. This gave me a nice chuckle.  A shop down in Shimokitazawa.


Yokohama - Annin Dofu Kit Kats

Different flavor kit kats are quite a common theme in Japan.  I came across these down in China town, Yokohama.  Didn`t buy or taste them, but I`m sure they are unique.

Japanese Spring Beer Sakura

A couple cans of some limited spring beer.  Can`t say the taste was great..

This, was not good..  It tasted like a bad non alcoholic beverage, (Asahi Free maybe).   It had alcohol..

There wasn`t any difference in taste, but cheap beer is well, cheap beer.

One Cup Sake, Family Mart.

More like one cup to the hospital.



Japanese Electronic Vending Machines

Pretty Cool actually.  These are just images of the bottles, not actual bottles.  Maybe better pictures later!

Mountain Dew Grape

I heard it taste just like grape soda. I wonder why...

Family Mart Chocolate Ice pop Star Wars 3D Ad

Obi on a chocolate ice cream bar.


Japan Snack Files #1 - Ika (Squid)

One of my favorite snacks in Japan. I love dry squid jerky. My mother in law buys this pack for me all the time.  They are mini dried squids.  Chewy just like jerky.


I never noticed the eyes until this one.

Looks like bugs huh.

Cute little squid art makes them so yummy.





Vending Machine 100yen Japan

Good Vending.



Sakura in Japan, Seijōgakuen-Mae

Denny`s Breakfast in Japan

Oh ya grand slam breakfast!  Check out the cool lack of options on the menu.

Top -Bacon & egg with Natto, rice & miso Soup 500yen
Bottom - Salmon, mini salad, with rice, natto & miso soup  600yen
Standard Egg & Bacon w/grilled cheese sandwich 400yen
Club sandwich w/ shrimp & Avocado 430yen

I went with the egg/bacon/sausage & egg over easy.  Pretty standard seeing as i could probably cook this myself for a mere 100yen. 



9.30am in the morning on a Thursday.. Beer.  This guy is my hero.

In short, Denny`s breakfast in Japan (USA Style) is the same as your 5 year old cooking breakfast.  Despite the lack of options, if you want to eat healthy after a good ole smashing hangover: Salmon, miso & natto is the best way to go for a cure.  I don`t advise it if you`re hungry though :)  

I wouldn`t recommend breakfast at Dennys, no matter how starving you are.  Pick up some eggs at the grocery store & some bacon, and you have denny`s breakfast in your home kitchen for a week. 


Restaurant - Dennys Japan
Time - 9am Breakfast
Price - 500yen Average price
Menu - SHORT - 4 listings


Pros: 
+ Hangover cure
+ Watching old men drink beer at 9.30am in the morning.
Cons: 
- Cheaper to cook at home
- 3 outs instead of a grand slam. Make that 4 outs.
- Say to your partner after finishing, `so where do you want to go eat`


In conclusion:  Keep in mind Dennys in Japan is not really like Dennys, at all.  If you are looking for a some good greasy American food, this is not the place.
