There are certain areas around Tokyo that I always stop by when Im in town. One of those is Akihabara. since Im here, I thought Id get some curry at Co Co Ichibanya I like their curry better than Go Go curry but I will go their in a pinch if Co Co is not around but I have found more Co Co than Go Go. However, there is a Go Go near the Toyoko Inn
To make the meal healthy?....healthier?..a little better for me, I added the chicken karagae salad. they give you a selection of 3 dressings and the salad is mainly cabbase but theres some iceberg lettuce as well.
