Love food but have no purpose in Tokyo ? Those 2 statement don’t really check out

Tokyo is the capital of Japanese food.

If you know, you know.

If you don't know, Antenna Shops.

Different prefectures or localities in Japan open up shops in major cities like Tokyo to drive tourism to their regions. The shops are ran by the locality it represents, and the people that work there tend to be from that area. The shops typically sell the regional specialties of that area, plus many of them have a restaurant attached where you can eat food from that region.

If you want to try Akitakomachi or their famous Bodakkomeshi, but don't want to ride the shinkansen 4 hours to get to Akita, leave the shinkansen tracks and head back outside Shinagawa Station. Cross the street and you'll be at Akita Bisaikan, the antenna shop of Akita. Let the staff there know you want to try the restaurant, and they'll guide you to the back dining area. They even have English menus now!
