Tokyo has also been something of an adventure for the tastebuds.  On our first evening we decided to sample the local yakiniku (an indoor BBQ, where you cook your own strips of meat at your table), where we were offered pig's rectum, womb, inverted intestine, and aorta, all of which we politely but firmly declined.  We did sample the 'rarge intestine' - chewy, but fairly tasty, although probably not something we'll be ordering again.

We've also got into the spirit of things and tried a couple of traditional Japanese breakfasts, including netto, described in the guide book as "a traditional Japanese food made from steamed soybeans fermented with natto bacillus."  The Japanese version of good bacteria.  Presented in a bowl, it's a very sticky substance which tastes exactly like we imagine mould would.
