Best Food city ? I'm writing from Tokyo right now (I go there several times a month) and while you certainly have a very good palette of choice, within Japan it's one of the most expensive places to eat, and the big problem that I have is that it's constantly crowded, especially where the food is a bit better than average. And the lack of space in general does not match with a super enjoyable experience. I'd prefer eating in Kansai any day, where you can actually relax and enjoy the food (cheaper and of very good quality too) instead of caring about the noise and the crowd.
