It is a bit of a challenge to dine here. There is not a whole lot of English and menus are difficult to decipher. Also, restaurants tend to have their doors shut, and you have to slide it open to peek inside.
On our first night we found a very small restaurant a short walk from our hotel. It appeared closed, but inside was a bustling small interior decorated densely with manga, action figures, basketball jerseys, every inch filled with colorful paraphernalia of every sort.
The owner was over the top friendly. The air inside was warm and thick. Loud Japanese rock videos played on the TV screen at the end of the dining room. I was grateful for my very cold Sapporo. Our food was filling and flavorful. It was an interesting start to our adventure but I looked forward to sleep.
