In the corner of this osembei shop you can often watch as rice
crackers are grilled right in front of you. Roasty, toasty aromas
waft through the air. But I come to Mamegen for the flavored nuts
from minty shiso, green tea peanuts, or the popular wasabi-flavored
nuts that pack a punch. Mamegen also has outlets in many depachika,
such as Takashimaya, but this location is the main shop (honten).

A tour of the Tsukiji Market is essential for any foodie. The
world`s largest fish market is a maze of a variety of seafood. The
guided tours by Nakamura-san will bring your experience of the
market to another level.

And within a minute Yuji has his cold beer. Gotta love Japan.
The touchscreen confirms his order.
We are wondering if the beer will actually come or not. He confirms
his order and we cross our fingers.
We went to an izakaya. Yuji was thirsty so he ordered a beer from
the tableside touchscreen.

Among the popular items you will find at a "yoshoku" restaurant.
Yoshoku loosely translates as Western-style restaurants. I sometimes
throw together an "omuraisu" which is simply an thin omelette-style
egg crepe surrounding ketchup-flavored rice. OK, more than ketchup,
but not much more. You can add bits of cooked chicken or mushrooms.
It is a good way to finish off the rice in the rice pot.
There is an udon and soba bar in the ANA lounge. If you can see, the
kamaboko fish cake in pink, white and blue has the ANA logo on it.
Great way to start any long distance flight.
