Visiting Tokyo (Part 9)

This time, we are going to show you Nabe we had in Tokyo. Friends of ours took us to ChankoDining. It is a restaurant owned by a former sumo wrestler champion.

First off, food from this restaurant is definitely fast food quality.  It was the first night of arrival and we were too tired and hungry to keep looking for nicer place.  As you can see from the signs at the front of the restaurant, the price is pretty cheap. Continue reading
