Restos:

• Ramen kamo to negi (great ramen, insane broth, hit the first button option on pay machine to order your ramen, then it’ll come with an insanely good rice egg dish)

• Seirinkan (v good Neapolitan pizza, featured in ugly delicious, not any better than ones in NY tho)

• Mister Donut (local chain, fun to try)

• 7/11, familymart and Lawson: try all the convenience store food! Egg salad sammy at 7/11 is a fave. So is the custard bun at familymart.

• There are lots of good ramen and sushi spots on the lower level of Tokyo station (the ramen area is called First Avenue)
