Tokyo Station All You Can Eat

Everyone loves food. And what’s even better than food? More food! And let's be honest, we can also get pretty competitive about it. Sound like you? Great. Welcome to the Tokyo Food Challenge! Here we will zone-in on restaurants at the extreme end of the food scale; those who offer portion sizes that are huge, massive, whopping! Just ridiculously BIG. We've selected 4 establishments in the greater Tokyo area that serve ungodly amounts of (delicious) food in 4 individual realms of cuisine: Meat, Ramen, Pizza and Seafood. Some customers are in it for the challenge, some just can't resist the novelty, and the rest just want to have some glutinous fun. So without further ado, let's dig in!
