Tokyo is unreal. It‘s the amped-up, neon-spewing cyber-city of literature and film... A colossal mega-city devoid of crime, grime, and bad food? Sounds more like a utopian novel than an earthly metropolis. But Tokyo is real. And it is so unlikely, even up close, that it is magic.

Finished this on the plane ✈🐙 A cute look into the foodie delights of Tokyo as experienced by an American dad and his young daughter. All the neighborhoods and foods are very familiar to me, and it was fun to read a tourist's perspective. Good bibliography for further reading into Japanese food fun especially from a gaijin perspective. #mommyreads #ebook #Tokyo #Japan #food #travel
