III - Tokyo

Food in Japan is one of the best things ever.

If you have to take a train from Tokyo Station and you haven't had time to have lunch, you're lucky: wherever direction you happen to look towards, food stares back at you. And by food I don't mean those stale sandwiches with bright yellow mayo (ugh) they sell in stations across Europe, nor those plastic-tasting croissants which have been sitting there for weeks waiting for a brave unfortunate enough traveler.

Not them.

You see, once you arrive in Japan, the whole tasty universe of bento opens its doors to you. No time for a proper lunch? With 800~1200円 (yen) you can buy a lunchbox full of fresh, healthy (and delicious) food.

I chose the one with the piggy smiling up at me.
