Wanna take a trip to Tokyo for free? Get a load of some authentic Japanese street food from the people at Otafuku. They are the only people I've seen so far making Okinomiyaki (fried pancake with cabbage and pork or shrimp, Yakisoba (fried noodles with shrimp and scallop and scallions), and Takoyaki (fried balls that can be plain, with cheese, or filled with octopus). If it was up to me I would go here once a week because there is a little anime cartoon inside of me, fer sure. The taste is very different from American type fast food and it's all about the sauce.
PS. This is not a place where you can sit down. You have to take the food with you, hence the tittle of fast food. I've been told that people in Japan usually have this with a beer and sit pretty much anywhere.
