| The Shitamachi area around the Sumida River is
home to a staggering number of eating and drinking establishments. The areas around
Monzen-Nakacho Station and along Kiyosumi-dori in particular have a wide variety
of famous places to eat. Here you can find fukagawameshi
(a kind of rice dish made with clams), chanko (the
food eaten by sumo wrestlers), Japanese soba (buckwheat
noodles), shamonabe (a sukiyaki-like dish that uses
chicken), and sushi made from fresh fish purchased from the nearby Tsukiji fish
market. For people who wish to try the unique, traditional flavors of Japan, this
area is highly recommended. |
