Pretty much how I feel. I could eat pizza every day, but Italian food rarely comes to mind.

I know the question wasn't directed at me, but I need to point out the fault in it. IMO, Tokyo is the only correct answer, and not because of Japanese cuisine. You can find ANY type of food in Tokyo, and at very high quality restaurants. It's just such a huge city, with such variety, and so much attention to food perfection, including other ethnic foods. In two weeks, you could eat at a different ethnic restaurant in Tokyo for every meal, and if you planned correctly, each might be one of the best you've had.
I'm not trying to say that a particular Greek dish in Tokyo will be better than in Athens, just that if you look at the whole picture over two weeks, it's not a fair comparison. Maybe the question should be "if you could only have one meal...".
