Question # 40 – What kind of restaurants can I find when teaching ESL in Japan?

 

Um, what kind of restaurants can you NOT find?

Family restaurants.

Eat and drink.

Drink and pay out the gazoo for a few snack type foods.

Japan has it all…and they are all good.

Pizza joints…watch out…octopus pizza…

Steak joints…bring your credit card.esl.japan.gif

Curry joints…how hot can you take it? How much can you eat? 1400 grams and its free.

Noodle shops…

Chinese…

Korean type fried meat and veggie joints…yum!

Try a coffee shop? Great stuff…homemade.

There is a ‘greasy spoon’ type tempura shop near Niigata station that is sticky, dark, crowded and the man is full of whiskers.

By far the best tempura you will eat ANYWHERE. The have shrimp, big shrimp, super big shrimp and humongous shrimp…seriously. That last size might be a lobster.

I’d be getting seriously hungry right now if I weren’t eating a brownie as I write this.

Come to think of it…I don’t remember there being brownies in Japan.

If you can’t find a good restaurant…walk in anywhere…pick out something that looks good in the window…don’t eat it, it’s plastic…get the real thing and it’ll be good.

I promise.

Where’s your favorite restaurant?
