On our arrival night in Tokyo we went with Shawna & Maz to Butagumi, a restaurant specializing in tonkatsu—deep-fried pork cutlets. Butagumi featured pork imported from various regions of Japan and the world, and, as always, the food was excellent. Plus, there was an English menu! One item was described thusly: "Iberico Pig. From Spain. Very famous pork in the world. It grows up eating acorn."
We had taken a subway to the general vicinity of the restaurant, and after some hurried consultations with Mike’s compass, we decided to take a cab. Actually, the cab ride was very interesting, since the driver had to spend about five minutes consulting his onboard GPS unit. He never was able to get us to the exact address, but got us to the general vicinity where we were able to find it without any difficulty. (He ended up charging us a pittance.)
