The popularity of Japanese food has been on the rise in recent years. If you go to any high-end shopping mall in Jakarta, you will certainly find dozens of Japanese restaurants. Dining at Japanese restaurants has become a global phenomenon.
When in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, what is on offer, especially when you might not have much time? The following food items maybe the best choice while in Tokyo.
'Donburi': Japanese rice bowls, or better known as donburi, are dishes consisting of steamed white rice and selection of vegetables, seafood, meat or other ingredients. Donburi are cheap, quickly prepared and can be found almost anywhere, making them ideal meals for students, travelers and company workers on a tight schedule. Gyudon (beef bowls) are one of the most common donburi varieties and the top-three gyudon chains in Tokyo are Sukiya, Yoshinoya and Matsuya. If you have a craving for deep-fried foods, you can indulge in tendon, which is rice coupled with tempura. Seafood lovers can also enjoy kaisendon (rice topped with assorted sashimi) or ikuradon (rice with salmon roe) at Tokyo's famous Tsukiji Market.
'Ramen': Tokyo is known for its ramen scene. The best ramen are normally found in Tokyo's many yokocho (alleyways). These are narrow streets that are home to numerous diners, pubs and food stalls. These places tend to be very crowded at night as they are popular sites for company drinking parties and workers who are looking to grab a quick bite before ing home. Tokyo also has a Ramen Street, located in Tokyo Station. Here, you can find eight amazing restaurants specializing in different kinds of ramen such as shio ramen and tonkotsu ramen.
'Konbini bentou': The most practical way to get your lunch is to visit a (konbini) convenience store or supermarket in Tokyo and try their pre-made meals called bentou. There are countless types of bentou but normally, they contain steamed white rice with various side dishes. The rice is sometimes topped with sesame seeds or pickled plums. The side dishes very greatly but common examples include grilled salmon, tamagoyaki, ebi tempura, sausage, karaage and minced chicken. Aside from konbini bentou, you can also buy ekiben, which are essentially bento boxes sold at train stations. These bentou can come in unique designs such as the Shinkansen E7 Kei Bentou, which is shaped like an actual Shinkansen and can be purchased at Tokyo Station's Ekibenya Matsuri.
