Are Tokyo and Osaka really some of the best places in the world for food? Or is this an instance of>thing :/>thing, Japan :0000?
Yes.
>>22039883Been to both. Landed in Tokyo and caught the Chinkachong to Osaka. Cost me about 3000¥ including an all you can eat Pocky buffet.
The biggest cities do offer some of the best food in the world because there is a clientele and infrastructure that can support it, this applies not just to Tokyo/Osaka but also New York or LA or London or Paris etcYou also get a lot of tourist traps.

Depends on what you mean with 'best'. To me, it means no nogs. To others, it may mean a piece of cat turd cobbee beans paired with a rare Kuwaiti river fish.
>>22039883not paying for 90% rice with traces of x or yYOU OSAKA THAT SCAM UP YOUR ASS
OP its probably been said before but things are so,,, oh whats the word im looking for,,,, crap.Automated? no....crapAnyway, I once worked at sushi restaurant and bar once, I was responsible for putting in food orders. I lived in Missouri/middle america. I could place a order for fish, or anything I wanted from say...japan, and get it the very next day if i wanted. Anyway you can pretty much order anything you want from all over the world at this point in time, this was about 8 years ago so i image its even better now
I ate 62 dollars equivalent at a Hamasushi once. God it was so good. Just use the tablet and keep ordering and it comes right up beside you one by one. So much sushi. Even mini burgers and chicken. Scallops on rice? Weird who knows what on rice? Hell yeah. Hama is my favorite conveyer chain.

>>22039883desu i think i had all my best meals in sapporo
>>22039883Yes. High quality raw meats taste amazing and you are simply a poor fag if you dont know this.
>>22039890>ChinkachongNo way that's what it's actually called
>>22041176Trying to look it up and seeing this specific thread pop up on the top of the google search got me a little bit
>>22040241>62 dollarsGiven the prices there, that's either a lot of fatty tuna/urchin/... or A LOT of sushi.
>>22039883Yes because of the weak yen. You can reserve a highly rated tabelog dining experience in Japan and it'll be a fourth of the price for the same quality in the west. I did a sushi omakase with 5 different sake pairings and it was $230 total for two people. You simply cannot beat that quality at that price anywhere else in the world.
>>22041214And it's also true for cheap stuff. I remember eating very decent lunches in seated restaurants for 1000 yens (~$6.5)Some things are stupidly overpriced though (Kobe beef in general)
Taking 2 weeks off to go to Japan for the first time this autumn for the food mostly, figured I'd split it half/half in Tokyo & Osaka and take the train to anywhere nearby I'd like to visit as daytrips, plus it'll be slightly off-season so hopefully a little less busyLot of the food festivals are concentrated in those 2 cities it seems like as well, Tokyo Ramen Festival and the Tsukemen Expo running the entire duration of my stay should be funKinda lame to be going solo but at least I can just do whatever I want the whole time and pig out unapologetically
>>22041176>he doesn't know about the shinkansenget a load of this hick
>>22041286You into trains?Nerd.
>>22039883>Are Tokyo and Osaka really some of the best places in the worldyesbut for touristsworking there sucks
>>22039883Probably. Just look how serious they are about their fruit.>>22039897>The biggest cities do offer some of the best food in the worldWhy does Copenhagen have the most tyre merchant restaurants with a population of 1.5million?
Osaka and Tokyo have a ton of good food but i found some of my favourite meals in japan were in Nagoya and Sapporo, Fukuoka as well, which have the benefit of being less crowded by comparison
