I seem to end up in Tokyo three or four times a year, but when things are busy there is sometimes no room at all for good restaurants. On this trip I finally focused on eating well for the first time in ages, though with my work getting busier and busier, it might be the last time in my life.

As soon as I arrived in Tokyo I headed to Asakusa and had my first meal at Manos.

Salad

For the details, see Mareunbi’s blog..

Bread

It was pretty good.

The soup too

was delicious.

Probably fried shrimp

Crispy outside, juicy inside. It is really something that proper cooking like this costs 3,000 yen.

I think this was the crab croquette..

Pumpkin soup

Simple ingredients, but delicious.

Beef stroganoff

Cabbage roll

The taste of the original.

Jam

You put it in your black tea.

Juice

Quite a feast for a first meal.
