Wandering through Ueno and feeling a little peckish I started looking for somewhere to eat that didn’t have a queue.
I’d eyed a Gyoza restaurant during my prior walks and decided to pop in.

Hub is a chain of British inspired pubs in Japan, and in Ueno there are two. I went to one on Showa Street.
It was still blisteringly hot when I dared to venture out in the afternoon to have something to eat.
My target this afternoon was okonomiyaki but that search was for nought, so I ended up at a yakotori restaurant on Ueno, quite close to the JR lines called Toriyoshi Shoten.
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.
