As i mentioned in one of my earlier posts, Indian food is pretty much in favour in Tokyo (and Japan). Indian cuisine i should say has found a niche for itself, coz you find it mentioned in travel guides more often than not. Metropolis and att.net mention and review Indian restaurants. If you are new to Tokyo and Japan, going through both the above magazines (both are free) gives an insight on what to see around in Tokyo.
Haven’t been to the usual Indian restaurants here, but i found the quality kinda ok. Maybe it’s more welcome coz you are missing Indian food. The masala in the 'curry'(fav word) tastes different though. For first timers to Indian restaurants here, you'd find the Nan a shocker when you see its size. Its probably triple the size of the normal Nan that’s available in the usual Indian restaurants. Nan happens to be the favourite among Japanese here. Almost every Japanese that i have talked to has had Indian cuisine and yeh the Nan!! Hmm speaks volumes!!
Hmm lots of bangladeshi and pakistani restaurnats sporting indian names and cuisine, but what the heck. Lassi is another fav here. I have seen Mango Lassi cartons here in the usual department stores (Lawson/Daily Yamazaki etc) and i couldnt resist the tempataion of trying that out. The taste i should say was anything but lassi. Basically mango flavoured milk suited to the japanese tounge.
