NERIMA: Chikara Meshi for 490yen Ebi-Fry-Teishoku~

I've always associated Chikara meshi with their grilled beef bowls but this picture stopped me in my tracks... I'm a huge fan of Shrimp Fry!  Had to goooo... and friendly 490yen price point was nice too.

There's a take-out window outside.

One Coin! Push the "green button" to dine inside the "orange" for take-out.

L shaped counter seating... it was nearing midnight so not too many folks.

Miso soup~

There it is!  Crispy crispy and no too bad.

You really can't go with Ebi-Fry-Teishoku and I'm sure this special will rotate out and something new will pop up in the coming wees so get it while u can!

MARUNOUCHI: 7-11 and ShinMaruBiru's cubby hole to kill a little time.

How to kill a little time in posh Shin-Marunouchi Bldg without having to stroll into a restaurant? Of course its 7-11 with their fine selection of drinks.

Facing 7-11 below the escalators is this tiny spot with 6 standing tables.  Its extremely private and very hidden away...

Some folks used it as a meeting location.

Folks use the space for a drink...

Spot to check your email...

Its not quite as comfy as Roppongi Hills Metro Hat but for a quick drink it serves its purpose.

Location: Facing 7-11 at Shin Marounouchi Bldg
