Any suggestions for the best place to find good food at a reasonable price? I'm not going to be eating any Western food for the trip, so please feel free to post suggestions. P.S. Is it true that 7-11 does not serve slurpees? Thanks! Mon Jul 10 00:25:36 -0700 2006 17687 kkinisky 1 1735113 Kichijoji is famous for Toriyoshi, a chain of yakitori restaurants. The original shop is still there. You should also be able to come across good cheap izakayas, probably with good drinking deals, if that's your thing. Kichijoji is known as student town. ...No slurpees at 7-11 in Japan, but that shouldn't stop you from checking them out.

As for 7-11, I thought they might have a variation on a slurpee ;) Mon Jul 10 19:20:29 -0700 2006 1735045 17687 kkinisky 2 1737307 They don't need slurpees -- they carry Fanta Melon Soda. So green, so refreshing ... And I second Toriyoshi, although the one I went to was in another part of town.

I don't recall any slurpee variations as the Japanese generally don't drink/eat/snack in public (i.e., while walking).
