Tonkatsu Toyama, Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan

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.

Izakaya Kokomi, Taipei, Taiwan

It was time for my last meal in Taipei before flying back to Seoul and then to Melbourne.

I pulled out my trusty map and had a look around the local area and I found a quite well regarded Japanese izakaya maybe 500 metres away, so, without a reservation I decided to chance it and see if I could have a quick meal.

Yakitori Express, Q Square, Taipei, Taiwan

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.
