I sure do love Tokyo.
Eating Out in Tokyo with Jon was a project I executed between 2008 and 2011 with generous sponsorship from Lehman Brothers and then from Nomura Holdings. I started it as a resource for people like me who worked in Roppongi and wanted to go out to lunch. I quickly got way too into it, and then just stayed in out of stubbornness. How else can you explain eating lunch at a different restaurant every workday in 2009, or trying an average of 1.2 new restaurants per day, every day, for 3 years? What you've got here is about 1,300 posts on restaurants in Japan, mostly in the aforementioned Tokyo, and then a smattering of other places where I ate on business trips or on vacation. These days I only update it when I'm back in Tokyo on vacation or when I have barbecue while on a business trip. Eating Out in Chicago is as interesting as watching a lump of shit dry compared to eating out in Tokyo. For people who have stumbled on the site and don't want to wade through 1,300+ post...
