Tokyo Trip - Part 1

Due to a chance of rain on Sunday, we decided to forego another hike and take a trip to Tokyo instead.  It's a big city, there are lot's of people, tons to see, yeah, yeah, yeah.  I will discuss the sights in another post, but first and foremost let's talk about the food.  That truly is the reason I wanted to go to Tokyo.  Last time we went to Tokyo, two years ago, we found a hole in the wall Indian restaurant that opened my eyes to the joys of a foreign cuisine.  I mean, the naan at that place was to die for!  We were determined to find the establishment again and with Drew on the case I knew I needn't worry.  He is the best "googler" and navigator that I've ever seen.

First stop, lunch.
This jewel serves up doner kebabs, a common Turkish fast food item.  If you look in the window, you can see the huge chunk of meat rotating on a spit which is then shaved off and served with veggies and sauce in a pita.  Our first run-in with this dish was in Italy.  It was so addicting that we sought it out again in Germany and now in Japan.  The Original, spicy please.  We will be back!

Later for dinner I was not disappointed.  Drew found the elusive Indian restaurant.

We both had the Butter Chicken with naan.  Check out the size of it!  Crispy in the middle, doughy on the edges.  I'm in love.  Drew asked for seconds...are you surprised??
