Probably the most interesting part about dining in Japan is the variety of ways they’ve invented to order food.  Everything from iPads to vending machines.  An order-taking robot wouldn’t be out of the ordinary here.  I’m a huge fan of asian food in gereal so I had a pretty epic 2 weeks of feasting.  Gonna have to hit the gym hard now that I’m home!

You put your money in and get tickets for the things you want. Then you go to the counter and they'll take your tickets and bring you food. Very cool.
