Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Oooh...I so can't wait to hit all those department stores :-) And thanks for the tip of no numbers/no street names. I have prepared little maps of all the places I want to go. Hopefully I'll find them!<br/><br/>Hey there mouse - thanks for your tips as well. The temperature at the moment is quite warm (about 26 - 32 degrees), so looks like I'll be sticking to ice-cream ;-) EG has his mind set on <a HREF="http://www.ramentokyo.com/search/label/Jiro" REL="nofollow">jiro ramen</a> (amongst many others). We are so looking forward to the adventure!<br/><br/>Hi hungry hamster - I'm with you. I think thigh is only good when your stew it, or cook it down. Else give me breast fillet any day.<br/><br/>Oooh stickyfingers - I haven't had the misuzu version yet. I must head down there! Hi Leila – thanks for the tips! Sounds like you had a wonderful time.

Hi hungry hamster – I’m with you. I think thigh is only good when your stew it, or cook it down. Else give me breast fillet any day.

Oooh stickyfingers – I haven’t had the misuzu version yet. I must head down there!

I'm used to eating chicken breasts now and find that thigh meat has quite a strong smell. Not sure if that's just me or if others have the same issue as well.

Will store it up to try.<br/><br/>All the best to you and EG for your Japan trip - if it's cold enough you might chance upon baked/charcoal-roasted sweet potato ala road side stalls in Tokyo. I love them when I was there (waaaay back in old 1999)! Also, there was a really good Japanese restaurant at the top floor of Tokyu Hands @ Tokyo, but then again, I don't know whether is it still there. <br/><br/>Do go for the ramen stalls by the roads - there was a particularly good one by the station of Akasaka Mitsuke. And also another little beef-rice shop near the main centre of Shibuya that sells FANTASTIC beef rice. I've never tasted another Japanese beef rice as good as that one, honest. <br/><br/>Sorry that I am particularly unhelpful with the names though! And like I said, it has been 8 years since I was there, so I think most probably everything's pretty much changed. But I do love Japan. <br/><br/>Again, have a great trip!
