When in
Tokyo (or anywhere in
Japan), eat ramen. And be sure to visit Ippudo and Ichiran if you have this thing for yummy
Tonkotsu ramen.

This was the first Ramen I've tried in Tokyo and it was sooooo good that we ate there twice. There are several Ippudo branches in Japan but we went to the Roponggi Hills branch. Twice.
Ippudo's prices range from JPY 800 - 1,100 each ramen bowl while sides are about JPY 150-300. If you're a bit on the budget, check out their lunch specials for JPY 800 which includes rice, ramen, and 6pcs of gyoza.
I got the
Special Shiromaru Ramen (JPY 1,050) while BB ordered the
Special Akamaru Ramen (JPY 1,100). Mine was better fo sho!
