Tokyo restaurant suggestions, tips, and other general information.
Japanese Curry
First of all, you need to prepare ingredients like meat, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, water, curry roux, and oil. Then, heat your sauce pan until it is hot. Add in a tablespoon of oil together with your onions and garlic. Fry them until you can smell a nice scent then add in meat cubes, you can either use chicken of beef for this. If you prefer healthier alternatives, you can put in tofu and vegetables instead of meat. Bear in mind that white meat is always better than red meat, so, chicken is also a good idea if you prefer healthier food.
After the meat has turned brown, add in your carrots and potatoes into the saucepan. Mix them well so that the vegetables can absorb the meat’s gravy. Next, add two cups of water and let it simmer. After five minutes, you can add the curry roux while stirring. Remember to mix it well. If you like heavier flavors, you can add more curry roux to make the sauce thicker. Then, just wait for it to simmer and let the sauce thicken until it reaches what you desire. If you want it to be thick, then the simmering process may take up to ten minutes or slightly lesser than that.
You can now serve the curry with fluffy white rice. Add some decorations to the plate so that it will look nicer and make your guest or family member go crazy for it. Japanese curry is so easy to make and it is a good idea to be served to guests when they visit you. Having it during a special occasion is also another brilliant idea.

Most of the Ramen shops in Tokyo are of open kitchen style with counter only seats. In these types of shops, there is only one person who performs all the functions like cooking, serving and collecting money. Such a person is so enjoyable to watch for his or her rhythmical movement while cooking.
Ramen noodles come in usually flat, fat, thin, and ribbon-like sizes. They can also be straight or wrinkled with yellowish hue. They are always served in a hot broth flavored with miso or shoyo and toppings like beef, seafood, chicken, spring onions and seaweed.

According to wiki , Sushi is served two way.
Traditionally, sushi is served on minimalist Japanese-style, geometric, mono- or duo-tone wood or lacquer plates, in keeping with the aesthetic qualities of this cuisine.
Many sushi restaurants offer fixed-price sets, selected by the chef from the catch of the day. These are often graded as shō-chiku-bai (松竹梅), shō/matsu (松, pine), chiku/take (竹, bamboo) and bai/ume (梅, ume), with matsu the most expensive and ume the cheapest.
In Japan, and increasingly abroad, sushi is served kaiten zushi (sushi train) style. Color coded plates of sushi are placed on a conveyor belt; as the belt passes customers choose as they please. After finishing, the bill is tallied by counting how many plates of each color have been taken. Newer kaiten zushi restaurants use RFID tags embedded in the dishes to bill automatically and manage elapsed time after cooked.
