You’re in Singapore. A friend comes over from another country to visit. You have no idea where to take them for a good meal. You visit hungrygowhere.com.
Now, you’ve moved to Japan. A friend comes over from another country to visit or maybe just another prefecture. You have no idea where to take them for a good meal. And there’s no hungrygowhere.co.jp simply because the URL itself is a pretty Singapore term. So what happens? You cry. And then from the cloud of routers and workstations, the God of Internet drops you a bible of eating places. You pick it up and the cover reads 食べログ (Tabelog). That’s where your religion begins.
食べログ is a combination of the words 食べる which means “to eat” and カタログ which means “catalog”. As its name implies, it is a catalog of eating places across Japan. I haven’t used it enough to know how comprehensive or reliable it is but do try it and let me know how things work out.
So the next time you’ve got no idea where to eat, try seeking enlightenment at 食べログ. You might just find yourself worshipping it.
Thanks for the link. Just so you know, your URL points to http://gaijinhan.wordpress.com/2011/09/27/%e9%a3%9f%e3%81%b9%e3%83%ad%e3%82%b0/tabelog.com not tabelog.com
Oh hey!
Thanks man. Didn’t realise that.
Fixed it! =)
LOL, I was just introduced to this just yesterday when I was wondering which ramen shop to go to in Ikebukuro…^_^
I was impressed and had a good ramen dinner too
Cool!
I kinda tried it and very unfortunately, both places I looked up were closed on the day I went. T_T
that is unfortunate but you have another shot again in future =)
