    Shabu Shabu
    Thinly sliced beef that you
    wave briefly through hot water,
    barely cooking it before dipping
    it in salty or sweet sauce and
    then straight to your mouth.
    The bubbling water in the
    center of the table takes on
    meaty flavor, and to this you
    add mushrooms, carrots, tofu
    and noodles. Fish these out
    and then add noodles to make
    Shabu Shabu a deconstructed
    soup meal.
    Mo-Mo Paradise
    Mo mo is the Japanese word
    for moo, or cow. This restau-
    rant may not serve the highest
    quality ingredients, but they
    offer all you can eat shabu
    shabu and sukiyaki for an hour
    or so for under 30 dollars. That
    can be an enormous amount of
    meat, tofu and vegetables.
    Look out - it's possible to injure
    yourself overeating here.
    Located on the fifth floor of a
    building near Shinjuku Station,
    across the street from a Ken-
    tucky Fried Chicken. Good
    luck finding it.
    Curry and Rice
    Brown sweet spicy sauce
    poured over mostly unrecog-
    nizable meat and vegetables
    sharing a plate with rice.
    Yakitori
    Yakitori literally means roasted
    bird. You'll find roadside
    shacks set up to serve little
    skewers of meat and veg-
    etables. Nankotsu, roasted
    bits of chicken with cartilage
    are quite good, crunchy.
    Shitake (mushrooms) are
    wonderful as well. You can get
    pretty crazy at yakitori joints,
    ordering pork temples and even
    grilled rectum.
    Yurakucho Yakitori
    In crowded smoky streetside
    stands under the JR tracks
    near the Yurakucho station
    you'll find some of the best
    skewers around. The spirit is
    lively with proprietors calling out
    to customers and you might
    find some drunk diners willing
    to help you order. Great for
    intimacy, shoulder to shoulder
    communal eating fun.
    Tonkatsu
    Mostly pork, though occasion-
    ally chicken, shrimp or oyster,
    breaded and deep fried. Typi-
    cally served topped with a thick
    brown sauce and some shred-
    ded cabbage.
    Sanno Park Tower
    NTT DoCoMo's "i-mode"
    mobile phone service has been
    one of the few Japanese
    business successes in the
    Internet age. Sanno Park
