Tokenspark: Super Capsule Tokyo Blast!!! - by Philip Sharp

Hot Sexy Japan McDonalds & BEER

My travel buddy, Chris, is cursed with a seriously discerning palette. Throughout the course of our travels in Japan, the poor guy couldn't stomach hardly anything. Now, why it is that he *could* stomach KFC/McDonald's/Friday's I've no idea; those names don't immediately conjure associations of gastronomic gallantry by any means.

Well, one night in Yokohama we were quite tired, and we were told there was a fabulous capsule hotel in the area -- I had the info from 'teh internets' and everything! Even thought I speak some Japanese, we were having a hell of a time finding it.


So, we stopped in for some McDonalds. Well, he did. I wound up with some convenience store food. I had to order for him, though.

Anyway, check out the design of this Micky D's! Some seriously sexy hamburger environs, yo! Oh, and that poster in the back is for a "Tamago Double Mac" -- can you guess what's on it? (Brenton, maybe?)

American food, Swedish design, Japanese methodology.

We never did find the capsule.

We did spy this pub, though, which we returned to the next day. Chris likes beer. Thank GOD.

$9 pints. Ouch. But: YUM!

oh dude your friend is in one of the great countries for beautiful culinary eats and he is passing on by without a taste! one of the great things in this world is gluttony and why deny oneself the chance to expand the palate? food glorious food!

the design of mcdonalds is pretty kick ass though.

Serious.

I'm kind of a washoku snob, and I was pretty bummed that I couldn't get him to try anything -- nevermind the more adventurous bits.
