Lot of food in Tokyo

My parents want to eat a lot of Japanese food in a single restaurant. Can you give us name or location in Tokyo. Any restaurant is ok, either it is Air condition or Non Ac in this summer season.

1)sushi and sashimi(raw sliced fish)
2)prawn and vegetable tempura
3)Fried pork and noodles
4)yakitori(chicken on skewers)
5)chicken domburi
6)tofu miso soup
7)teppan yaki
8)udon noodle soup
9)crisp potato pancakes

Are they wanting to consume all of these things in a single trip to this one restaurant? That could be pretty difficult. A reasonably good hotel buffet will have a number of these items (and more) and might possibly do a somewhat okay job with them, but some of the items are a bit too “B-kyu gourmet” (B-class gourmet) for a typical buffet restaurant. On the other hand, really good B-kyu gourmet (such as chicken donburi, pork cutlets, and various types of noodles) is something you find in a restaurant that specializes in one type of food only. Good sushi, sashimi, teppanyaki, and tempura are also things that will be much better if you go to a place that specializes in them.

Where in the world did they get the idea of wanting to eat all of these items in a single restaurant?

I don't know a restaurant that would serve all of these dishes in Tokyo. Even limiting to half of them would still be difficult. (Also, what's the "crisp potato pancake" ? korokke?)

I agree with Kim that your best bet would be a hotel buffet. There are "onsen resort hotels" outside of Tokyo (eg: Ooedo Onsen Monogatari), that might have most items on your list on any night. I usually avoid those kinds of hotels myself, so I cannot vouch for their quality.

I just threw a search for 和食バイキング and these two buffets combined might fit the bill

https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1314/A131403/13207414/ (Shinagawa Prince hotel)

You could probably enjoy most if not all of them at an izakaya, a food court in a mall, or a "parking area" if you happen to drive safely. Ask your hotel or tourist information center for details. But as suggested, I don't know what 3)Fried pork and noodles (yakisoba?) and 9)crisp potato pancakes are.

It would be expensive - but potentially one of the large chain izakayas which have huge menus might be an option. I tend to not visit these as they can get expensive. Some on the forum might be able to suggest a chain izakaya with a large menu which is easily found in Tokyo.

I will say that the better Japanese food places tend to focus on one type of food (ramen/gyoza, yakitori etc). As such - you won't probably be getting anything better than average Japanese food at these places.

Thanks A Lot
Crisp =crispy, sorry "y" is Omitted

In my country,it made of potatoes,onion,egg,
cornflour,sesame seeds, garlic,spring onion, shoshoyu(soy sauce) , white wine,sesame oil,caster sugar,chopped red chillies,oil etc are needed as ingredients

1)sushi and sashimi(raw sliced fish)
2)prawn and vegetable tempura
3)Fried pork and noodles
4)yakitori(chicken on skewers)
5)chicken domburi
6)tofu miso soup
7)teppan yaki
8)udon noodle soup

Do you want to eat all of them at once at a single restaurant?

Sir Thanks.your help is highly appreciated.
You always help thousands of newcomers of Japan if not millions.

As my parents Age are 70+.So in reality it is not possible to eat all food in once/single restaurant. So our Japanese friend Mellye
suggest me to go buffet restaurant with my parents and eat food at our hearts content

I'm Japanese, and I'm currently planning a trip to Nepal. While looking at the menus of a Japanese restaurant in Pokhara on Google Maps, I found they offer sushi, tempura, tonkatsu, udon, yakitori, and more. The Japanese restaurant I ate at at Lake Tekapo in New Zealand also offered a wide variety of dishes. It seems salmon farming is popular there, and salmon dishes are a specialty, but they also had other options.

In Japan, this is actually quite rare. As Kim has already pointed out, many restaurants specialize in specific dishes. Since you can't eat everything in one meal anyway, I recommend visiting specialized restaurants for each dish over several times.

I'm planning to go to Wakkanai and Rebun Island tomorrow, and in Wakkanai, I'm planning to go to a restaurant specializing in sea urchin rice bowls. It seems they also offer other seafood rice bowls though. The sea urchin season in Wakkanai is from June to August, so you won't be able to eat sea urchin rice bowls outside of that period.

For tempura, it's best to go to a tempura specialty restaurant. There are restaurants where you can eat this for under 1,000 yen, and others that cost over 10,000 yen, with a wide range of prices in between. At specialty restaurants, you can at least get freshly fried tempura. Even the cheapest places serve tempura that I think is better than what you'd find at Japanese restaurants overseas.

Sushi, at a specialty sushi restaurant, the vinegared rice is never too cold or too hot; it's served at body temperature (around 35°C) (it's now a common understanding that the vinegared rice is the most important part of sushi). While supermarkets sell packaged sushi, these are unacceptable in terms of the temperature of the vinegared rice.

3) Fried pork and noodles
5) chicken domburi
I don't know what these are, so I'll refrain from commenting.

6) Tofu miso soup is usually served as a side dish included in set meals at many restaurants, and it's not typically ordered on its own.

7) Teppan-yaki – Okonomiyaki, for example, is also a type of teppanyaki in a sense, and this could be considered a low-end teppanyaki. High-end teppanyaki can be found at restaurants that serve Kobe beef, for example. Okonomiyaki costs around 1000 yen, while Kobe beef teppanyaki ranges from 10,000 to 100,000 yen. Of course, some okonomiyaki restaurants also offer teppanyaki of vegetables, meat, and shrimp. These restaurants would likely cost around 2000-5000 yen per meal.

8) Udon noodle soup: This likely refers to udon noodles, and there are many udon specialty restaurants. Kagawa-style udon is popular nationwide and can now be found almost anywhere. While udon in soup is the most common, there's also a style where udon is served with a rich, Japanese-style sauce.

9) Crispy potato pancakes: These are probably called "potato pancakes" in Japan. Many Japanese people can imagine them, but I doubt they've actually eaten them. My impression is that they're Eastern European cuisine. Of course, you can probably find restaurants that serve them, but I've never tried them myself.

Sir Thanks A Lot
After coming Japan, I always suggest my countrymen and other foreigners to buy transportation pass, either bus or rail pass.

As you are Japanese, so you know 100 times
more than me. So my recommendation regarded as child advice.

Valid for wakkanai and other areas:
1)adult holiday club member(JR East +JR hok kaido) 5 day=28000 yen by ekinet

2)JR higashi nihon Hokkaido pass 7 day = 11780 yen

3)JR Hokkaido free pass 7 day=28000 yen by ekinet

4)JR Hokkaido 1 day walking pass =2730 yen

5)soya bus 1600 ,2880 yen from wakkanai to soya misaki bus Stop(1 way, round trip)

6)rishiri island local bus 1 day pass=2500yen
rebun island local bus 1 Day pass =3000 yen

7)wakkanai route bus 1 day pass =3300 yen

I am not Japanese, merely a tourist.

My parents have never been to Japan, and have almost never eaten Japanese food. If I were to organize a trip for them, I would book a hotel with included breakfast, and bring them to a buffet restaurant for lunch, early in the trip. That way, they could try a wide variety of food, and then I would know their preferences and what to search for the next meals.

However, if your parents have already eaten japanese food before, and know what they like, it would be much better to find restaurants specialized in each dish. Less expensive and better quality.

As you are Japanese, so you know 100 times
more than me.

Thank you, but this is not always true. I think I have been this forum for more than 10 years, and I am always surprised by deep knowledge of tourism in Japan among foreigners.

For example, I have never heard of Gono line or Resort Shirakami before reading some posts here. I think more than 90% Japanese don't know it!

I am living in Kagoshima prefecture which is in southern part of Kyushu island so I flew to Tokyo Haneda airport and then to Wakkanai this time. I am now in Haneda airport.

bring them to a buffet restaurant for lunch, early in the trip.

Yes, this is one good option. But please note that good buffet lunch may be consisted mainly of western food which is considered to be good among Japanese. Probably, most popular food in buffet in Japan should be roast beef or beef steak.

I searched “ Japanese food popular among foreign tourists” and found this article.

Top three are Ramen, Katsudon (pork cutlet rice bowl) and Unadon (eel rice bowl). Sadly Sushi is 11th. I think this is probably because they don't have a custom of eating raw fish. Outside of Japan, when people talk about sushi, they usually mean maki rolls, and I've heard that those without raw fish are popular.

For French people (although I don't have any French friends, so this is just a guess), I think it's best to recommend cooked chicken or pork. I personally don't like gyudon (beef bowl), which is ranked 4th above. I think unadon (eel bowl) is a bit risky. While I think it's a flavor that many people would actually enjoy, eels look like snakes, so some might be hesitant.

Thanks so much .Beside food, my parents also need accommodation .For my parents:it is a life long experience

I don't always agree with staying in one hotel and taking day trips to various places. For example, instead of staying in a hotel in Kyoto and taking two day trips to Nara, it's better to move from Kyoto to a hotel in Nara, stay for two nights, and sightsee in Nara. It saves time, and you can use the least crowded times in tourist areas—morning and evening—for sightseeing rather than travel. On the other hand, if you're staying in a hotel in Osaka and only seeing a little bit of Nara, that's fine too. However, in this case, hotels in Nara are generally cheaper, so that makes it a bit of a gamble.

By the way, looking at your plan, the first and second night hotels are quite far apart. It would include walking, taking the train, changing trains, and walking again. As for the third and fourth night hotels, both Richmond and First Cabin have multiple places, so I can't specify the exact locations, but if they're outside the Ueno/Asakusa area, they're quite far away. You haven't mentioned the fifth night and beyond, so I don't know, but are they near the buffet? In a place the size of Tokyo, I wouldn't recommend frequently changing hotels. At the Richmond Hotel, there's almost certainly a coin laundry, which is much more convenient if you're staying for multiple nights. Also, carrying luggage on crowded public transportation in Tokyo is difficult, so it's best to minimize travel between hotels.

Regarding hotel breakfast buffets, they're pretty much the same everywhere in the world; the only real difference in Japan is the variety of Japanese food. For example, miso soup is almost always available. However, the miso soup at many hotel breakfast buffets isn't particularly tasty (though not bad either), because miso soup isn't usually a selling point at hotel buffets.

For mid-range and above restaurants, it's best to make reservations, not just for buffets. You might be refused entry without a reservation. On the other hand, if you book everything in advance, you might end up with a place that doesn't suit your mood. If you're not too picky, there are plenty of places to eat, and you can ask your hotel for recommendations for nearby restaurants that don't require reservations. Hotels usually provide maps showing nearby restaurants and supermarkets, so you can ask for one of those.

Regarding hotel breakfasts, paying speaprately can be more expensive than some of the deals you get when combining with the room. Pays to check what the included/excluded price is.
Also, hotel breakfasts tend to be expensive for what they are. Often heading to a cafe/coffee shop and getting a morning set will be a lot less (half) the price.
And, they get very similar if you stay in a lot of hotels. Lots of the same choices repeated many times over because of the type of food and service that makes sense to offer to guests.

Sir Thanks so much
