DEFINITELY eat at Ginza Isomura!

Tokyo Drink Ginza Miso Miso soup Tsukemono (Japanese pickles)

One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Japan is called Ginza Isomura; there is one in Ginza and two in Kannai/Bashamichi. They are famous for their kushiage, which are fresh meat, fish or vegetables deep fried on a stick. However, it is not as heavy as you may think! I love going for lunches, because they are reasonable (around 1,000yen) and delicious. They also have a large variety of vegetables in the set, so eating here is a healthy choice! With your kushiage, they give you tsukemono (pickled vegetables), cabbage, rice and miso soup. You can get free refills of the rice and miso soup so definitely eat/drink them with your delicious meal!
