Two Food Writers Devour Tokyo
The thrilling and mouthwatering tale of two friends on an epic Tokyo food crawl that found them ogling robots, eating just-dispatched eel, drinking whisky chilled with hand-carved ice balls, consuming fish sperm (on purpose), and getting kicked out of public baths. A delicious and hilarious romp for lovers of Japanese food and travel.

The perfect bite-sized Tokyo food adventure
Still relatively untraveled by Westerners, Tokyo (and its 80,000 restaurants) should be on every food lover’s “Eat Here Before You Die” list. Because they were only two people with seven days on their hands (and the unfortunate physical limitations on the human stomach) they agreed that they could get a lot more eating done if they didn’t visit even one shrine.

“This is not a guidebook, but more like when your friends come back from someplace amazing and tell you about it.... This book has given me confidence for my upcoming trip to Japan. YES to fried fish sperm sacs and NO to hot dogs. Snort-out-loud funny.”
