On my first morning in Japan I jumped on the Ginza subway line and headed to Asakusa with no real agenda in mind.
Popping out near the Sumida River I took a quick walk along Kasenjiki Park trying to stay in the shade to protect myself from the already blisteringly hot sun.
When the heat became too much I had a quick look to see what restaurants there were locally and a tonkatsu restaurant called Tonkatsu Toyama caught my eye.

I was off on my first holiday since going to Europe in 2019 (Thanks COVID!).
I decided to head to Seoul in South Korea and Taipei in Taiwan, spending a week in each.
Just inside Zhongshan Market is a small beef noodle shop that I stumbled upon. Its a small shop run by an old gentlemen with seats for maybe 15 people inside and a couple more outside.

As I was walking around Tamsui I spotted a small Pho shop and decided that I wanted to have lunch there.
Translating the Chinese name gives me Mei Xiang Beef Pho, I hope this is right!

On the way back to my hotel I was on the hunt for some food. I ventured into Q Square and upto the 4th floor and did a lap to see what was on offer and if there were tables available. I eventually decided on Yakitori Express.
