I live in Aichi, and I’m planning on visiting Tokyo over the New Years holidays. I’ll have a few days when I’m not meeting friends, and as I can’t travel often due to my health, I’d like to make the most of Tokyo’s wider variety of restaurants while I can. Nagoya doesn’t have the variety of international cuisine you can find in Tokyo, and as I’ll be going to plenty of Izakaya with friends, I’m more interested in non-Japanese food.
I’ll be staying in Taito-ku, so any places nearby would be great, but anywhere in the special wards is fine. I like a wide variety of food, so any recommendations are fine. Especially for January 1st, as my friends normally need the day to recover. I found South Park, a decent South Indian restaurant in Asakusa last New Year’s day, so I suspect there are other places like that open throughout the holidays.
Somewhere casual as I’ll be alone. I’ll probably just be eating and going unless they also have decent drinks. I know plenty of places in Ameyokocho will be open, but there really isn’t anything there that I couldn’t get in Aichi, so I’m more interested in non-Japanese. As I stumbled upon the South Indian restaurant last year, I suspect there might be some other foreign-staffed restaurants that don’t close as their families aren’t in Japan, so I thought I’d ask on the off chance that anyone knows about any others.
Andra looks nice. I’ll probably check it out when I’m in Ueno.
