So, while I’m living it up here in Tokyo, I want to challenge myself to branch out and try as many different restaurants as possible. There’s a delicious Ramen place by the apartment and I’d be completely content paying them a nightly visit, but I feel I should take this opportunity to put my taste buds on the front line and do some exploring. That, and some things are just very cute/creative and deserve a little recognition.
Last night Dan and I headed to Shinjuku where I got a new phone that I can actually use in Japan (a Droid Desire, love it) and at one point we were told to come back in a half hour while they got the phone up and running with a sim card and stuff. So Dan and I went out across the street to a Mister Donut for a quick bite. Nothing special, a run of the mill donut shop, though they have cute donuts from time to time like this little guy 🙂
After getting my phone we wandered aimlessly down a street or two and approached the first restaurant we saw. It was called Hole Hole and it looked to have Hawaiian fare.
It wasn’t too adventurous, I would definitely come back here if I was missing a taste of home. We had Kona Longboard beers, a margherita pizza, chips and cheese and what I can only describe as a ball of mashed potatoes and cheese, deep fried. DELICIOUS but I didn’t feel too adventurous. I did order drinks for the first time though and that was exciting. I’m attempting to speak up as much as possible to get more comfortable with Japanese. Baby steps 🙂
this is great. i especially like the pedo bear donut.
Aw the doughnut is cute!
I’d have a hard time not just getting local authentic Ramen all the time too…. but what lovely food adventures to be had!
I keep telling Chris we need to take a food vacation… visit another country and eat our way from city to city! LOL
That’s some crazy looking doughnut!
