Had it not been for you, I would have just hit the steak place near my hotel & missed out on the great vibe. The pizza place, however was also pointed out by our guide so only partial credit.

Lol...they don't need no stinking veggies. They did put onion on my pizza...does that count? I think fiber is against their religion. It is all cheese and meat. And more meat. And a side of cheese. Some fruit occassionaly shows up.

1st stop in Japan has to be Shake Shack for their delicious chicken sandwiches! Was definitely hungry after my flight!

Ended with the delicious ginger and dark chocolate cookie from Bens Cookies Shinsaibashi.
