Tokyo, a bustling metropolis, offers an unparalleled street food scene, but not how you know it – eating whilst walking is considered rude in Japan -  so find a quiet bench to enjoy your snacks and watch the world go by. Explore the vibrant Tsukiji Market, indulging in freshly prepared omelettes, tempura, and other local delicacies. Of course, you can’t forget sushi when talking about culinary delights in Japan – a perfect way to sample the range is at a Kaiten bar. At these revolutionary restaurants, little dishes pass by on a conveyor belt, and you can simply grab the ones that take your fancy.
