When I lived in Tokyo for a month and a half in 1993, I bought this book and ate at 5 or 6 of the restaurants Rick Kennedy recommends. They were all excellent. The Italian restaurant he recommended remains the best I have visited to date in any part of the world. Mr. Kennedy brings you to neighborhoods and places you would not necessarily have run into, and helps you to find the hidden gems therein. Even after I returned, I would read this book for fun because the atmosphere that Mr. Kennedy evokes as he writes reminded me of the places I had visited and lived. It is a great book, and I am sorry to see it is out of print, as I am going back to Tokyo to see some of the soccer World Cup games and was looking forward to seeing what other jewels Mr. Kennedy had found.
